Steep, complex, daunting, this route is most certainly one of the King lines in Tuckerman Ravine. Best accessed by climbing Hillman’s and walking over to skiers left. Duchess begins with a hanging snowfield above a blind roll. Ski in and descent towards a bush island in the center, from here you have two options. Traverse high and right for a bushy adventure into a clean exit gully, or ski more naturally fall line to a construction, sporting a small mandatory hop in thin conditions. Both options join a steep, high walled gully to finish. Ski out the lower snowfields and bushwhack back to the exit of Hillman’s or the Sherb.
