This is one of the steepest run that leads directly to the Hawkins Base. It can be accessed by traversing skiers' left from Middle Pocket. The initial pitch is decently steep and this pitch is sustained throughout the entire run despite the run being on the shorter side. Definitely worth it for those wanting a spicier entrance into the signature Hawkins' Run!
