Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

That's seriously impressive, particularly as a non-local, and having to mentally recover from the fall partway up.
I tried (and failed) to do a ski touring ascent of MB years ago with a mate, on the FKT route. The challenge that partly comes across in her video, is that you're fighting the conditions the whole way. It starts out as horrible refrozen slush, there's 30mins of reasonably skinable snow, then its slush and your skis get heavier and heavier.
Descent is worse - we made it to about 3500m - if you wait for the snow to be skiable up high, you end up needing skins to go downhill later, as it's so sticky and heavy that you barely move on the flatter sections. If you aim for better snow low down, you're skiing ice (on lightweight touring skis, with a heavy pack) up high. Sometimes there's proper blue glacial ice as well - not "icy piste" ice, but something you can't even get an ice hammer into. For those sections, you're just along for the ride, trying to stay upright.
Obviously one of our regulars will now pop up to say how easy it is and anyone with enough money could do sub 4 hrs

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I love that the way she talks in the interview you can sense the passion that she has for what she is doing

Pha, not even trying.
One of the guides I used in the PdS is joint holder of the world record for; cycling from Geneva or MB, skinning up MB, then skiing back down in one day. Can't remember if they then cycled back to Geneva or not as I've never got past the "Why?" question
