Borderline Blog favorite Xavier de le Rue and his amazing cameramen and women continue a season of boarding the hairiest lines. Too much ice for your intrepid blog host. I did have my picture taken from a helicopter once, though. I was drunk and on a sailboat. Seems somewhat less daring than Xavier.
Ueli Steck speedclimbs the Eiger (“ogre” in German). He gets to the top in record time, then remembers he forgot to bring his sled. Bummer.
(Thanks to BSBFB devotee Casey Klahn for sending that one along)
Honorary Borderline Sociopath Xavier de Le Rue continues his snowboard adventures with an Italian Job. The Dolomites dare you with their couloirs – “a narrow gully with a steep gradient in a mountainous terrain.”
From his bio: “Better try and crash than think you could do it and not give it a shot.”
