Description
Awesome views over the clouds as you come out of the forest.
Punishing but not difficult steep climb as soon as you come out of the forest. Not really much fun on the way down unless you've got solid or fresh snow - otherwise it's a bit difficult to retain traction
Difficulty
Moderate
Low Exposure (E1)
Exposure is limited to that of the slope itself. Getting hurt is still likely if the slope is steep and/or the snow is hard.
Remoteness
Close to help in case of emergency.
