Escape Hatch
This route is the standard walk off for ice climbing routes in Huntington Ravine, during mid winter conditions. It also makes a great ski. Escape Hatch is the least exposed offering in Huntington, making a great option for those who want to explore this Ravine but don’t want to ski no fall zones.
From the floor of Huntington Ravine, bushwhack up and left to the base of the gully. Boott pack up to where the gully tops out on the shoulder of the ravine. The top of the gully is marked by a famous shovel handle wedged in a cairn like the sword of Excalibur.
The line begins with steep turns on a wide open panel, about half way down the line steeps and gets tighter. Exit the gully and pick your way skiers left back to the Huntington Ravine Fire Road.
