Landscape Narrative	Avalanche shoot with rock stairs has medium size Betula lenta, mostly rooted near cliff faces. Opposing cliff face across chute is varnished and lichen free in places from heavy climbing use.;Shaded cliff face bordering an avalanche shoot with rock stairways constructed to access recreational climbs. Cliff face below and above an access trail, with slightly less than vertical angle~resulting in increased lichen cover and diversity. Recieves morning -afternoon sun in winter, cliff face is more shaded in summer.
