EEEK, (nice name BTW, Doc Nesbo always says that in the backcountry!!)
I believe I got an e-mail from you about that pull and I will be following up on that very soon, I promise.
That is the first time we've ever had sun and great snow in the Turtle Chutes and did not "set-up" to film them! Julio and JohnO just came to the lake and I told them to turn their helmet cameras on and go to town! It was so fun watching the fireworks. Brad Story and Randy Swenson (among others) just sat and watched, very fun 15 minutes!!! I love watching people pull these crazy lines!!!
Another factoid, Hastings was zero for 3 in his chute. 3 tries, 3 denials. So that pull was HUGE Redemption for him. He was so tickled he pulled it again a few days later for good measure. That takes balls, getting whipped by a chute 3 times and then pulling it 2 times in 2 rides!! Way to go Shawn!!
