Terje Haakonsen: headcam powder line in Alaska

It’s been a slow news week so we’ve been entertaining ourselves by rooting out some classic video sections, including yesterday’s homage to Travis Parker and this morning’s Terje throwback. The video above comes from the extras of the same Standard film – Notice to Appear – and still sends shivers down our spine. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to be dropped into one of those crazy lines in Alaska then check this out. Ominous chopper noise, waving bye-bye to your guide, scrambling along a sketchy ridge with only your heavy breathing for company, and the immortal line: “As soon as I drop in I can’t turn, so I gotta go straight.” Step into Terje’s shoes, and prepare to be scared!
