Cliff Traverse Map

This is a great backcountry run that can be accessed by hiking the North and South Bowl bootpack and ducking under the boundary line on hikers' right. It's primarily used as an alternative for those to intimidated by Slot Machine or if Slot Machine is unskiable. The run itself isn't too special but is decently enjoyable! It still has some steep sections which requires some advanced abilities. By nature, it is also a bit exposed which can be intimidating
