Chairline Left Map

The trees on the upper portion of this run have grown and begun to obscure the entrance to this run. In early season, shimmy through the trees keeping the Chair 6 on your right. Partway down the cliff area that runs horizontally across the face of OOs Right and Left, intrudes into the run, narrowing it down. Keep the prominent buttress on your left, working the opening in the trees. Once below the narrowest part, the slope opens to a relatively untouched section.
