One can see the two chutes of the “Devils Staircase” shot from the ridge above and west of Ants Basin.  The north chute I descended is entered at the tree on the skyline, just left of the smaller pinnacle left of the highest pinnacle.  The chute is wide, and many paths crisscrossing back and forth.  I have not explored the south chute.  Much of it is shadowed by a subsidiary ridge, hidden from view.
