Callaghan: Hidden Peak Map

Approach is very much the same as the tree skiing route that I've labeled as "Pillow Talk" with the main difference being you'll follow the ridge to base of Hidden Peak, which opens you up to lots of alpine terrain with some couloirs to be had.

Description

This area is quite exposed, so make sure you're doing research and verifying conditions in the field and have a backup objective!

Difficulty

Steep skiing at 38-45 degrees. This requires very good technique and the risk of falling has serious consequences.

High Exposure (E3)

3 out of 4

In case of a fall, death is highly likely.

Remoteness

2 out of 4

Away from help but easily accessed.
