Adrenaline Chute is one of the gnarliest lines off Headwall. You get here by taking Bullet all the way down to where it levels out and then ski a ridge looker's right of it. On low snow years, this chute can require a large drop. On high snow years, the entire chute can be filled out. On most snow years, there's a small drop.
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.
