One of several wide steep chutes above Hamburger basin. Access by hiking the Throne. A large cornice builds on the right of this chute making the entrance a long vertical drop. Look for the shallower entrance on the skier's left. A few small trees line the edges of this shallow chute, which hold snow. Watch out for a traverse track below the chute as it opens into Hamburger Basin.

As well as the slope itself, there are some obstacles (such as rock outcrops) which could aggravate injury.
