- Filmer Luca Rolli: "The 14th of April 2013 Davide Capozzi, Julien Herry, Francesco Civra and Luca Rolli made the historical second descent with skis and snowboard of the east face of Aig. Blanche de Peuterey on the italian side of the massif of Mont Blanc. This exceptional steep descent was skied the first and only time by Stefano de Benedetti in June 1984. 29 years divide the two descents!"
In italian, this face is called: 'La parete che non c'è' which means 'the non-existing slope.' During most of year the face is unskiable because there are too many rocks - it is possible to consider skiing it during the few days each year it's covered by snow.
The team started from the Torino Hut during the night, traversed the Brenva Glacier in the dark and climbed the east face of Aiguille Blanche in 9 hours.
During the descent, the quality of the snow was perfect with some really hard snow on the summit, powder in the upper fields and spring snow at the bottom.
The descent is graded: 5.4 E4 50°+ 1300m
Simply Awesome! Congratulations!
Bravo Luca, una parete mito.
Bravi ragazzi! Una bella salita e altrettanto la discesa!!!
Stupendo,complimenti!che invidiaaaaaaa..

Nice Video ! Thanks a lot ! I like the music, could you write down what's the name of the band or singer ? :)
Now was that a black or a double black run?
Tryad - Lovely
I dont think you get it... Getting to the top of a peak like this will give you a different feeling then skiing bottomless pow in Japan. Skiing a line this steep and exposed will make your heart feel like its going to jump out of your chest. Stressful, scary, but incredibly rewarding.
Big boys ski this. Wannabe riders go to Japan..
immensi!!!
explain it to me then.
i mean seriously would you rather do this or ride waist deep japanese powder?
Woooow
Thats the weirdest looking ski! Why is he riding it sideways?
Actually Tassan and Tardivel rate it 5.5 !

Climbed for 9 hours then ski through the shadow of the helicopter that could have lifted them in 15 minutes.....interesting choice.
Actually, it couldn't... Helicopter lifting is not permitted in France. Not sure that's the reason why they climbed though :). Cheers.
because if you are not able to climb that face you should not try to ski down
Sebastien, you're a dumbass.
you absolute moron
Heliskiing is gay.
doesnt look that fun
oh i get it. ive climbed plenty of things and it hasnt been fun. rewarding and sense of accomplishment sure. fun? nah, fun is getting smashed in the face all day with faceshots.
so yeh i 'get' it, and i stand by my comment because to me it doesnt look that fun.
