In June 1978, Patrick Vallençant made the first ski descent of the southeast face of Artesonjaru in Peru, in the Cordillera Blanca, 6,000 meters above sea level and 60° of slope. He left Huaraz on horseback, a donkey carrying his equipment. While crossing Cajas, the last village on the trail to Lake Paron, he was greeted by Victor and Cesar, two Indians who accompanied him to the lake. The climb to the summit was tiring, requiring as much effort from his arms as from his legs. The beginning of the descent was hesitant, the slope extremely steep. He achieved his feat on June 9, his thirty-second birthday.

Traversing the continent’s most rugged shoreline and dodging the tidal surge of the Pacific Ocean, the United States ultra-runner Dylan Bowman attempts the Fastest Known Time for traversing California’s Lost Coast. Shrouded in myth – and fog – the Lost Coast describes a section of California coastline so forbidding that it stymied even the most dogged engineers, who carved Highway One out of thousands of miles of West Coast forests and beaches. Highway One, which (often in combination with Highway 101) stretches from Orange County to Canada, makes only one exception to its coast-hugging route: the Lost Coast, where it veers inland, defeated by the vertiginous cliffs of the King Range.
