Length: 40 minutes

At 5959m, Mount Logan is the second highest peak in North America, and certainly one of the wildest mountains in the world. To reach it, Hélias Millerioux, Alex Marchesseau, Thomas Delfino and Gregory Douillard did not choose the easiest option. The approach is done on foot and on skis, in total autonomy, with 80kg per person to carry over hundreds of kilometers of moraines and tormented glaciers! We head for the East Ridge, where the 4000 meters of vertical drop have never been skied before, then return to the ocean by raft. A total adventure with friends in a hostile but grandiose nature, just magical!
