The Fifty. Episode 28. Mt. Stimson— the worst approach ever.

  • 2021-10-14 08:33:01
    Bringing new meaning to the term "sufferfest," Cody Townsend is back with his Episode 28 of The Fifty series. In this installment, Cody and pro-snowboarder Nick Russel,tackle Mt. Stimson, a 10,000' monster in the NW corner of Montana.

    This is the kind of cinema-verite video that shows the more "challenging" part of ski touring. This, and most of The Fifty series, is excellent viewing. Maybe that/s why the video has pulled in more than 130,000 views in a week's time.
