In this episode of into the mountains, I learn and practise important skills for ski mountaineering, such as how to rappel into a couloir, also known as "abseiling". The word is german for "ab" meaning down and seil translates to rope which gives the lovely word abseil "to down rope". I also had the pleasure to practise the scary skill of making a snow anchor to abseil off down an ice fall into a lovely little couloir. The last skill I was pleased to get to practise was how to ski cut (to try to release an avalanche to make the couloir safer afterwards). Enjoy.
