Last Chance Chutes Map

A series of seven steep chutes through trees and small cliffs, Last Chance Chutes are not individually named. Again, the most straightforward chute is directly beneath the chair. Working left, the chute below the main gut of Stockholders is the most popular. The breakover is often pocked with rocks. Find the opening in the trees on the right that requires a ten foot drop to the steep slope below. Working left, the chutes become progressively more challenging. Watch for rocks.
