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 easy 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! Direction the east ridge, whose 4000 meters of vertical drop have never been skied before, before a return to the ocean by raft... A total adventure, between friends, in a hostile but grandiose nature... Magical!
