Names that other countries have for this feature:
A slope falling 450m from Quarterdeck Ridge to a saddle at the southern end of Hallett Peninsula, and the north-eastern slopes of Mt Vernon Harcourt. The slope must be traversed by parties moving overland from Hallett Station to Tucker Glacier after the bay ice in Edisto Inlet has broken out. The NZ Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition, 1957-58, met deep soft new snow in this area and sledges had to be man-hauled up the slope in relays, hence the name.
