This line is rather difficult to find as it's not marked and out of the way when compared to runs like Gowdy's and AMF. Continue down the lookers' right wall of the Cirque Headwall until you find a line that doesn't require mandatory air. That line will be this infamous straightline. While it is very steep and very narrow, the actual line itself is short-lived. The tricky part will be slowing yourself down before you reach the gully below you.
Difficulty
Severe
Steep skiing at 38-45 degrees. This requires very good technique and the risk of falling has serious consequences.
Medium Exposure (E2)
As well as the slope itself, there are some obstacles (such as rock outcrops) which could aggravate injury.
Remoteness
Close to help in case of emergency.
