Find the 5th Pinnacle just past the 4th, in the next open bowl. It is a large upper bowl that doglegs near the bottom, essentially cutting under the treed rib just to the North. This isn't a place you'd want to get washed down. Ski the upper bowl for 600 feet or so, then bank a left and through the rock walls, and out into the apron. There usually isn't a big rocky crux in here unless the wind has done some damage. Hit the Bridger return track and back to Bridger.
Difficulty
Severe
Steep skiing at 38-45 degrees. This requires very good technique and the risk of falling has serious consequences.
