Saddle Sore

Another backside classic on the North-West side of Castle Mountain involves variable pitches of 40 to 45 degrees, route finding through cliff bands and dealing with the psychological oppression of 4,000,000kg of snow hanging over your head. The approach is a 45 degree frozen scree slope, about 100 metres long and is the sketchiest part of the whole chute. First descended by Morgan Black, Tom Lynch-Staunton and Rat [Kyle Rast] in 2000 with no repeats.
