One of the most aesthetic lines in the range, Pipeline is on everyone’s hit list. It’s a high walled couloir that splits the false peak of Mount Clay. An ice bulge seals off the bottom most years. In the fattest conditions, this line is all skiing. In the lean years. A rappel may be necessary to exit the bottom. In most cases, there is a small ice bulge that can be negotiated with some air time. It’s good to scope this one from below to know what you’re dealing with. From the cog, bootpack up to the false summit of Mount Clay, the gully is obvious from above. As you drop in, the line gets continually steeper, bringing you to the exit crux. Negotiate this. And traverse right at the runout to meet the bottom of Airplane Gully. Be aware that the ice bulge in this line presents a high consequence situation in the event of an avalanche.
