One of the best lines in this zone that is overlooked by its neighbors Dogleg and Shit for Brains. It starts out with a steep narrow couloir, then it opens up for a bit then you have an option of two couloirs on the way out. After that, you will enjoy long open turns to the bottom. Make sure you access this line early as it is W facing. This is an steep line and it easily accessed off Loveland Pass.
