From the top, Broken Hip starts with a rocky descent leading into a choice of three lines: one features a tight switchback and a somewhat rocky descent, one includes an a-frame style rock feature followed by a steep descent down a series of rock slabs and the other is very loose and blown out. Only the line with the switchback can be climbed. Below this area the trail smooths out.

Access Info

Can be accessed from either Rollercoaster (top) or South Shore (bottom).

      Last part of the trail is smooth. Should not be rated a black diamond
