This video short is part of The Continuum Project, a new film by Chris Alstrin. Download the film or buy the DVD to see Sarah and Majka explore this attractive line up the center of The Perch, and to hear them discuss the risks and rewards of climbing in the mountains.

Alpinist will launch six shorts by filmmaker Chris Alstrin–available only on Alpinist.com–that give a taste of his new film. We’ve already released footage of a new route on Kwangde Shar (6093m) in Nepal’s Khumbu Himal, Guy Lacelle on a 180-meter WI6 free solo, Jon Walsh and Ian Welsted’s adventures at Icefall Brook and a locals’ tour of sport climbing at Lion’s Head in Ontario.
