Two north faces linked by a single line — Aiguille du Plan and Aiguille de Blaitière. The kind of terrain that demands silence, focus, and flow.
PURE CUTS 02 — self-documented, raw, steep, unfiltered. Now playing via our link in bio.

The season of being very small in very big places.
Like Eric and Max here, specs in an otherwise vast, an indifferent landscape.
AK from a few seasons back.
Less 'chasing powder' like back in 2014 with @elflamingofilms , more chasing this line with @maxkroneck ever since 💭
'chasing powder' was also the first time Max and I started filming together (on vimeo, still worth checking it out 😚). Never stopped since then - what a journey. 🤝
„Tour du Ciel - Planning? Optional. Weather? Absolutely chaotic. From full whiteout to summer vibes to fresh powder. // Somehow we ended up alone in mountain huts, wrapped in fog, eating way too much Swiss raclette (no regrets). // Good crew, good laughs, slightly questionable visibility - but that’s kind of the point. //
Still not sure how this counts as work, but I’m not asking questions. 🏔️
Summer down low, deep winter up high – classic Bavarian identity crisis. ❄️☀️
Out on “Eisenzeit” with a strong guest, breaking trail for 2000m in the north face of the Zugspitze… legs burning, vibes high. Honestly, this one could go toe-to-toe with some proper West Alps routes.
Meanwhile the gondola casually cruises overhead like “you guys ok down there?” 🚠😄
And a few hours later… back to iced coffee in the sun.
So yeah… “Eisenzeit” felt more like:
👉 Bavarian Midi 🏔️💪
Get ready to hone your skills in the speed department with support from Arc’teryx athlete, Max Kroneck (@maxkroneck ), and our Academy guides. In this high-pace clinic, you’ll learn how to dial in your pack contents to reduce weight and increase speed, efficiency, and safety. You’ll also level up on abseiling, placing natural protection, and making decisions on the go. Book your spot via the link in bio 🔗
Out for the @berggids touring course at @heidelbergerhuette // chasing fresh lines and learning quite a lot. // Five days in a row riding untouched powder… not a bad streak.
Congrats to the whole group for earning those tracks!
Camped out in the Swiss Alps during a string of sunny days, Arc’teryx athletes Noémie Equy (@noemie_equy ), Edgar Cheylus (@edgarcheylus ), Max Kroneck (@maxkroneck ), and Loïc Isliker (@loicisliker ) step into a new dimension. There, they find a fresh take on kicked steps and steep turns – one that celebrates the opportunity to step away from the buzz of everyday life and allows the present to come into focus.
‘Elsewhere’ is streaming now on our YouTube channel.
