The nice warning sign outside of the east wall.

This is us heading into the East Wall.

This is looking up at the east wall above where the previous picture was taken. People actually do ski those shoots but it requires a large amount of hiking.

This is the terrain and view looking down the east wall. Nothing to crazy but a nice ski run.

Al in action down the 13 Cornices. Very narrow glade run with lots of bumps and 13 drops hence its name.
