north face hallets, ski decent circled, rmnp

it is possible that this is a first descent, you can barley see my line in the couloir,, my original plan once at the bottom of the couloir was to rapel, but i traversed out on an easy ledge to the adjacent couloir instead, 6/06, picture taken from flattop after descent, you can see the 60dg roll at the top, this line was a great ski, especially when combined with traverse to the adjacent couloir(tyndall twisty)

Re: from this point...

the couloir is in the 50's the upper part, with a short 60dg rollover ~couple turns below the top,, the bottom is in the low 40s

That and the the line to the left have both been skied, in the one you circled, earlier in the year you can traverse skiers left on that shelf and keep skis on all the way home. The L line is 55+ the whole way but gets filled into a nice consistent fall-line ramp.
