first quarter is where it gets really fun with a super steep and fairly exposed area great for freeriding but expect to get a shock when you see it in person it is much bigger and steeper. lots of features such as pyramids drops and the occasional small spring spines. be very careful of avalanches though it has a massive reputation for sliding and remember no one carries a beacon in the Australian back country because lets face it Australia doesn't slide that often.
