Description
The tightness of the chute turns it into a straightline. It's easy to get cliffed out in the area. A traverse through the branches of tight trees is required. The actual straightline is quite blind. Send it and pray!
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
Away from help but easily accessed.
