Description

This is a gnarly chute in the that can be accessed by hiking the North and South Bowl bootpack and ducking under the boundary line on hikers' right.

You must hike all the way to the summit of Wapiti Peak and then descend down the skiers' right summit ridge.

Go past the Keystone Couloir and F1.

Then look for the next chute.

This chute is wedged between the Index and Middle Rock.

This chute requires a mandatory cornice drop-in and in most years (unless the snowpack is superb) a mandatory straightline.

It does mellow out quickly and merges onto the lower section of the Keystone Couloir but the chute itself is absolutely terrifying.

Speed control is very challenging.

Note that even though this chute faces North, it takes a lot of snow to be actually skiable since the zone is so rocky.

Also note that the pitch estimate depicted by this website doesn't do justice for how gnarly this run is.
