East Ridge Traverse Map

The East Ridge Traverse is the third official way down from the tram (not counting S&S Couloir). It can be used to access S&S Couloir, but its primary purpose is to allow those not skiing Corbet's to access Tensleep Bowl directly from the tram. Expect rocky variable coverage and a steep final pitch at the end.
