The shortest gully in Gulf of Slides, this line is a bit of a misfit. It’s much further down the ridge and starts in a much lower drainage. If you’ve ever skinned by the exit for Gully #6, the bushwhack is as bad as it looks. You are much better off topping off Boott Spur and hiking in from above, or better yet, do it on a day when the ridge has a good ice coating abs ski the ridge to the entrance. Gully 6, due to starting at a lower elevation and facing more southerly, can be one of the first lines to corn up. By the same principle, it can also be a roller ball nightmare when other lines are only seeing surface warming. Ski a beautiful opening gully, that feels very remote for the east side. The line slowly pinches out and becomes more bushy until you are fully in the woods. Just as all hope of making a complete turn begins to dwindle, you emerge from the woods onto Gulf of Slides Trail. Despite all the shenanigans involved, this line deserves more traffic than it sees.
