Lost Cabin Gully Map

This gully can be accessed by taking a left at the top of Cornice Express. Pass the Skull and Crossbones sign and follow the ridge till right before "The Fingers". Beyond the fingers is pure double black diamond territory (whereas if you drop-in before The Fingers, after the initial cornice, the rest of the run will be single black diamond difficulty). They'll most likely be a cornice that you'll have to drop and then, proceed to the obvious Gully close to the Fingers and follow it all the way to the bottom of Lost Cabin! Definitely a fun alternative to do this run!
