On the same trip, Fransson also climbed the classic Cassin Route and skied two other classic lines, the Messner Couloir and Orient Express\\u2014the sum of which translates from &lt;em&gt;alpinese&lt;\\/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;ski-bra&lt;\\/em&gt; roughly thusly: pretty hairball sh*t, bro. &lt;em&gt;(See a comprehensive report on Fransson&amp;#8217;s South Face mission, by Teton.OuterLocal.com via ChamonixInsider.com, &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/chamonixinsider.com\\/2011\\/06\\/09\\/andreas-fransson-vs-south-face-of-denali-first-descent-with-skis\\/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"&gt;HERE&lt;\\/a&gt;; and find Fransson&amp;#8217;s own account on his personal blog &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/andreasfransson.blogspot.com\\/\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\"&gt;HERE&lt;\\/a&gt;.)&lt;\\/em&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;In any case, on Monday\\u2014a day before Fransson and his friend and filmmaker, &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/endlessflow.posterous.com\\/\\\"&gt;Bjarne Sahl\\u00e9n&lt;\\/a&gt;, left for Quito, Ecuador, on another ski mission\\u2014Sahl\\u00e9n posted online a 13-minute documentary video from Fransson&amp;#8217;s Denali South Face descent. The video, above, is candid and raw, with footage captured mostly from Fransson&amp;#8217;s own mini-cams.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;So what&amp;#8217;s ahead for the Fransson\\/Sahl\\u00e9n duo in South America? Three months of adventure, through Dec. 20, in the mountains of Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina and Chile, according to Sahl\\u00e9n, a Swede who also lives in Chamonix.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The thought is that Andreas is going to ski some high summits and I will film everything,&amp;#8221; Sahl\\u00e9n said in an email. He added, &amp;#8220;I talked to Andreas and &amp;#8230; we don&amp;#8217;t like to talk about what our plans are exactly. We can talk after, not before we done something.&amp;#8221; \\u2014 &lt;em&gt;Tim Mutrie&lt;\\/em&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
