Description

This bowl holds snow quite poorly but because of how remote it is, you can really get a true feeling of isolation. The long hike in and grueling traverse out however aren't exactly worth the run that you get.

Difficulty

Moderate

Slopes become slightly steeper at around 25-30 degrees.

Low Exposure (E1)

1 out of 4

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

4 out of 4

In the high mountains or remote conditions, all individuals must be completely autonomous in every situation.
