Angle is always so deceiving on these. You'd think they could just stand up and walk level on a snowfield, but it's like 50-60degrees I bet.

Yikes! Looks like a bowling alley to me. :)

woodchuck07 says:
Yeah, are those boulder roll marks I see, or some glisadde' tracks? I'd be huggin' the right edge for sure, just in case one lets loose.
Turd Ferguson says:
Yeah, the angle on this one is in the mid 50 degree range until you hit the left most exit, Leia, which is ~65 degree snow. Those aren't glissade tracks as you'd have to have suicidal tendencies to glissade this thing! The snow was very well consolidated and even a bit icy. There was a lot of step chopping so ice and hard snow was tumbling down the chute.
Andy says:
I'm pretty sure the unknown climber is Wes Go.
Heres a video of that climb: http://www.andyintherockies.com/trip/63/South_Arapaho_Peak_Skywalker_Couloir.htm.
