Vertical Wall

This is an insane Couloir in Kirkwood's surrounding backcountry that requires a lot of effort to get to and ski successfully. Take Chair 6 (Cornice Express) and travel out of bounds to Thunder Mountain's summit. Continue to travel west towards the next sub-peak. You will find this monstrous line around here. You must rappel to get in. Ice axes, ice screws, ropes, are 100% necessary and a fall will certainly result in death. The chute also holds snow very poorly due to its insane pitch that it maintains throughout. Jump turns are 100% required and there may be a few sections that require you to simply climb down. This is a gnarly line that only the best of the best should even think of attempting. Ride with caution
