Climbing Gully Bypass Map

This is a flat skin/bootpack trail that continues past the Climbing Gully. When taking the Climbing Gully up from the Gondola, a sudden steep chute will appear going perpendicular to the first segment. When walking up this chute two lines will appear, the continuation of the chute or a mellow path that will look very similar to the first path. When taking this new path continue walking until the break in the trail, this is the Profanity Chute, from here you can drop in and ski the majority of the Profanity Chute or hike up the Profanity Chute. Hiking up the Chute is not advised as it is a grueling push to the summit, however, if need be you can take it up to the top.
