Description

Creekside Chutes are a series of 14 distinct chutes that can be accessed from Picketts' Face.

These chutes vary a lot in difficulty: some are more advanced-level difficulty, some maintain typical narrow/steep expert pitches, and some require mandatory cliff drops.

Each line is very short lived however and quickly filters onto the flat Creek Trail catwalk run which leads back to the Hawkins Base area.

These are definitely worth checking out if you're into steep backcountry trees!
