Shit for Brains
A big, steep, narrow, notoriously dangerous couloir that is clearly visible from Arapahoe Basin. Some people hike up the ridge, and some climb up the couloir. Be aware that if you’re climbing up, someone may be dropping in above you who climbed the ridge. Even after you drop in, someone may unwittingly drop in above you. A fall above a chokepoint in here could easily be deadly. The rock walls are always close by the whole way down.
