Grieschumme 32 Map

Passing the Stockhorn button lift, the slope rolls away more steeply than the last section above run 33 or 34 and allows you to choose your line between middle and left (if you drop to the right, there is quite a long traverse to get back to the main pitches). After this section, the slope becomes less steep and there are a variety of flatter bump sections, winding to the left before another steeper open face, with some great bumps. Watch out for rocks in this steeper section. The run then flattens again, and traverses under the bottom of the Triftji T-bar and hits a track around to the left. This track continues to roll down but there are still some small faces here to play on the descent, and the track eventually joins Mittelritz just above Grünsee.
