“This is the line you see between the rocks the the lookers right of Frankenstein, above the Broome Hut.”
— Kevin Gillest
Overview
Description
This is the only line on the entire ridge that does not form a cornice. We started skiing from just above Bride of Frankenstein, and dropped right in no issues. There are rock outcropping on both sides while you are skiing, but the angle and width is not difficult.
Probably not a good line to ski in the middle of winter—wait for spring consolidation!
