Dominatrix, II, M6 WI4+: Starts at the base of EG. Bottom is mixed.
French Tickler, M6 A0 WI4: Another rare former. Mixed start.

800+ Feet right of Easy Gully:
Grand Confusion, WI3+: From a text description it may sound like Grand Illiusion. This really isn't a part of Easy Gully, it's a 10-minute hike north of Easy Gully.

Getting There Suggest change

Road distances: 1.2 miles from Jeffersonville closure, 1.8 miles from Stowe closure.

Follow the narrow snow gully behind the stone hut and move up and left before Grand Confusion.
or
Leave road 100 feet north of the high point, past a huge boulder 50 feet in the woods, and follow the slide path up.

From the hut expect 30 minutes to the base of the gully.
