Origin

This name originates from Australia. It is part of the Australian Antarctic Gazetteer.

Narrative

The pronounced ridge extending west-nor-west from Mt Ainsworth then west towards the coastal scarp where it forms the precipitous promontory between Caroline Bay and Caroline Cove. It defines the northern edge of The Amphitheatre and is crossed by a steep and unpopular section of the track leading to Caroline Cove from the northeast. The name reflects the unwelcome steepness of this track section and has been in use since the earliest days of ANARE.
