Franklin Headwall

Another underrated line in the Southern Presi. This line has great variety and is fairly “freerideable”. The best approach is to traverse South beneath the summit cone of Monroe and gain the ridge. Locate the top of the line, this may take some prior scouting to know where you’re going. Drop in and ski an open snowfield that slowly gets steeper, hang a turn to skiers right to enter a tight chute. Negotiate a small choke point, and enter a wider chute to finish. Bootpack out the way you came or climb Bifocal Gully to exit.
