After all the recent snow at Squaw, check out this ‘almost’ attempt at McConkey’s, arguably Squaw’s most tech line with an exposed crux and mandatory air out, right next to the top of KT-22.
Originally known as Eagle’s Nest, it is now forever known as McConkey’s, as a super cool tribute to the Squaw Valley legend.  McConkey called Eagle’s Nest the perfect training ground for the backcountry big mountain stage.
The High Line on Eagle’s Nest McConkey’s was measured by Robb Gaffney in his book Squallywood as having a 68.5-degree pitch, one of the steepest in all of North America.
Probably would have popped out of it and ridden out skiing the right bindings. Should have thrown in a ball grab on that mini spread for extra gnar points.
