Hiker's Viral Mountain Slide: 9.5 Hours of Ascent Undone in 20 Minutes
A recent viral video shared by hiker Alex Nuntapreda has captured widespread attention, showcasing an unconventional and remarkably swift descent from a mountain. The footage, humorously captioned "POV: you undo 9.5 hours of hiking in 20 minutes," depicts Nuntapreda sliding down a natural chute of snow and ice. Equipped with mountaineering gear, including a backpack and trekking pole, the adventurer navigates the icy channel with apparent expertise. The dramatic backdrop of vast, snow-covered and rocky terrain under a clear sky underscores the challenging environment. While the specific mountain location remains undisclosed, the video offers a compelling glimpse into the thrilling aspects of mountain exploration and the unique methods employed by experienced hikers to traverse difficult landscapes efficiently. This 'glissading' technique, a recognized method in mountaineering for rapid descent on snow, highlights both the physical demands and the innovative solutions found in high-altitude adventures.
