Knife ridge at the Aiguille du Midi, Chamonix Mont-Blan, minus 30 degrees with strong winds
Ted Harinishi:
この日は摂氏マイナス30度にウインドチルファクター( wind-chill factor)により体感温度がマイナス５０度、その為両手小指が凍傷に罹り全治５ヶ月を要したのでそれ以来ミットグローブを使用している。
Ted Harinishi:
Starting point to the off-piste skiing at the Aiguille du Midi cable car station at the top is narrow and mostly frozen, making it dangerous to ski down from there, so you need to grab a rope and desend to a wider area where you can put on your skis
