Pyramid Peak featured this week on "The Fifty"

Post by pbergmaier »

Skier Cody Townsend's entertaining Youtube series called "The Fifty" chronicles his endeavor to climb and ski all 50 lines and mountains from the book The 50 Classic Ski Descents of North America. This week in the series, he tackles Pyramid Peak via the Landry Line, which appears to follow the standard climbing route much of the way. Looks like he did this back in late March maybe, after that ridiculous avy cycle? Or early April perhaps. I've enjoyed watching these episodes, it gives a really nice perspective on decision-making in the mountains, and is just fun to watch.
