Description

This popular, short face offers great turns at the terminus of Lizard's Back Ridge, which starts at the summit of The King and separates Silver Basin and Avalanche Basin.

Access from the summit of The King, following the ridge until it fans out to a steep open face.

Watch for cornices along the ridge.

The Nose starts shallow and quickly steepens near tall trees that mark its entrance.

This slope avalanches regularly; watch out for wind-loading.

At the bottom, work your way left to Elizabeth Lake and back to Queens Run.
