I have no idea where DOA is.

To get there you go up showcase T-Bar then hike up to the glacier. Once there you do a quick little traverse followed by a big hike up around the backside ending up at the top of the chute which you can see in the picture I found below. To give you an idea this photo was taken from booterville showing the chute so you actually hike the whole way around the back from the glacier up to the top which is to the far right when looking up from 7th Heaven. Was a huge mission but very much worth it.

That’s so awesome, man. Really stoked you had a ripper of a day. Those photos look great and I’m sure the ride down was even better. Well deserved for all your hard work. shaka

p.s. Got your message this morning. We’re still in Vancouver and probably won’t be back till late arvo. But we’ll catch up and shred soon. You got Wednesday off?
