It might seem dead obvious but it doesn’t hurt to show how a backcountry legend like Jeremy Jones lets his crew know about sluff danger mid-line…by yelling! Just a friendly reminder that if you see something happening you need to be as loud as possible without a moment’s hesitation and also why its not recommended to wear earphones in the backcountry:
“Nick Russell was getting ready to enter a chute that was questionable while I watched a sluff gain momentum toward it. Hence the aggressive yelling. Nick was already pulled out to an island of safety before the sluff barrelled through the chute.”
Here’s Jeremy and Nick taking “Party Laps” afterwards:
