Rex's is a steep, open face off the south side of Super Condor. You can access it by exiting out of the Murdock Gate and traversing down to it. It is named after a ski instructor, named Rex Potter, who died in an avalanche accident here on December 29, 1973. This slope gets a lot of sun and weather, so make sure you check out with patrol and carry an avalanche transceiver when skiing here.
