Next to 'Zig Zag', Disco is a fun short shot with some real narrow excitement. When you look at this line when approaching it looks like a disco dancer making the John Travolta pointed arm move. But make no mistake, skiing the narrow arm of the disco dancer keeps it real. More info and photos at www.couloirquest.com. The difficulty rating for this rout utilizes the posted FATMAP criteria.
