Flying Dutchman on Longs Peak

I shot this video of an ascent of Flying Dutchman (a couloir on Longs Peak) on May 19, 2007. Our original plan was to ascend Flying Dutchman, climb over the top of The Beaver, rapp into The Notch, and climb to the summit of Longs Peak via Stepladder. However, I felt like crap from the get-go and was thus really slow. By the time we topped out of Flying Dutchman it was late and the weather was looking a little dodgy. We decided to bail down The Loft. Still a good day out in the hills
