Description
This area has much steeper pitches and much more dense trees than anything in the main area of the Deadwood Meadows. Definitely worth doing if you're looking for a challenging, but not extraordinarily so, gladed experience!
Difficulty
Difficult
Serious gradient of 30-38 degrees where a real risk of slipping exists.
Medium Exposure (E2)
As well as the slope itself, there are some obstacles (such as rock outcrops) which could aggravate injury.
Remoteness
In the high mountains or remote conditions, all individuals must be completely autonomous in every situation.
