Description
The ridge starts off quite steep but then mellows out very fast. You get access to runs like The Funnel and Twin Chutes with this ridge before following the ridge all the way back to the base of 9374.
Difficulty
Moderate
Slopes become slightly steeper at around 25-30 degrees.
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
Little chance of being seen or helped in case of an accident.
