Murchison and Trevor Sexsmith

  • 2016-05-11 18:33:33

    Yet another Trevor Sexmsith post worthy of all those who stumble across it. For those who might not know Trevor has been slowly? No pretty damn quickly etching his way to whispering legend status to those who care about this sort of thing. Ski mountaineering some pretty serious objectives and a creative eye for finding possible first descents he continues to “wow” the small part of the internet that actively seeks out his endeavors.

     

    Now what did he do this time? In typical fashion a soul crushing approach (for most of us ) followed by some steep boot packing maybe a solo mixed climbing and an exciting ski descent that probably goes? I could summerize the ascent of Murchison but it's well worth your time to pop over to Trevor's blog and hear it from the horses mouth. Well written, lots of photos and a video that will have your coffee cup slipping out your hand with those sweaty palms! Read about it here.
