bsmith day hiker Addict Registered: 02/15/07 Posts: 590 Loc: ventura county, ca	Originally Posted By: Herman30 What is a "shale chute"? great question! i had to look that one up myself. shale is a sedimentary rock. see "shale" in wikipedia. a chute is a sloping channel. could be quite wide - like the side of a mountain - or could be quite narrow. i found a youtube video of a mountain biker on a steep shale chute. steepest shale chute seems like trying to do a solo traverse with a heavy pack caused our woman to rethink things. smart.

Ren Addict Registered: 11/05/07 Posts: 553 Loc: Wales, UK	The shale chute in the video looks pretty compact, and the stone looks relatively small. Climbed down a chute with a pack once, was lose sharp edged flat stones. Footing wasn't secure, sank and slipped quite a bit sending rock down.
