Description:
Fantastic line that is a pretty casual route, slightly more difficult but less continuous than the West Face. Stay left of the turrets and follow the ridge up with views of the West Face & Avalanche Gulch mule trains. Eventually trend right to the Catwalk and pick your poison - either hug the rotten cliff or balance on the edge with a few feet of exposure below.Descent Options:
Many. Ski the brilliant west face and walk back or take the direct route following crowds down Avalanche Gulch.
