A British climber has made history after becoming the first person to ski a previously inaccessible route in the Peruvian mountains.
Footage shows Fay Manners, a former data consultant turned elite alpinist, skiing down the southwest ridge of Mount Ranrapalca in the Cordillera Blanca mountain range.
The route had been deemed inaccessible for more than 40 years due to its “glacial terrain”.
Manners, who completed the run with Italian ski mountaineer Marco Malcang, named the route Acceso Momentáneo (Momentary Access) as it took “the right moment and someone curious enough to look,” she explained.
