The Pemberton Ice Cap

2002 - Possibly the Biggest Year of my Career - I had parts in all of the big film company movies including; MSP, Poorboyz and TGR.

That summer I got a call from MSP, thanks to K2, to go jump some crevasses with Mike Douglas out on the Pemberton Ice Cap. How could I refuse? I was ambitious and naive. It was a perfect combination. Matchstick heli dropped a sled, fuel, a few tents, some food and a rail. Here’s what happened:

Day 2: We set out to find a span that would allow for the rail sit on. Guinea Pigging this was arguably more scary than jumping the big gap since the rail was not secured and we didn’t know how much give it would have. Copyright @ Damian Cromwell

As you can see, I was on black based, white top-sheet prototypes of the Public Enemy. I recall this was an intentional move meant to build conversation… what does K2 have brewing?
