The couloir is 40 - 45 degree steep. In the middle it makes narrow and turns right (from skier point of view) so it is like a sand watch but bended to the right.
Difficulty
Severe
Steep skiing at 38-45 degrees. This requires very good technique and the risk of falling has serious consequences.
Medium Exposure (E2)
As well as the slope itself, there are some obstacles (such as rock outcrops) which could aggravate injury.
Remoteness
Close to help in case of emergency.
