Unlike its sisters, these lines are prime to be skied top to bottom as a part of any tour up Gash Point. They provide steep, shaded north facing ski descents into the Sweathouse drainage. Guarded at top by formidable cliffs, the lines begin like couloirs and end in a large avalanche runout. In stable conditions, these runs hold cold snow that few venture to ski.
