“The Rubies hold cold dry snow. Terminal Cancer is a strong line with an easy approach. Getting to Nevada is the hard part.” (FCSDofNA)

“We need more female representation, especially in dangerous sports like mountaineering. It’s not enough to get women outside. We need women to get to the highest levels.”
— Caroline Gleich
Out in the rugged dusty wild of Nevada, lies an infamously aesthetic couloir named Terminal Cancer. While skied very very often, the crew takes on the attempt to fulfill a quest for "First Descents". The sarcasm runs deeper than the bootpack and the humor longer than the chute itself.
