From the Beetham Valley the best route is probably to cut across the toe of West Ridge and ascend above the old Malte Brun Hut site, regaining the ridge at a col at 2300m. Follow the ridge on generally good rock. The climb steepens and provides some difficulty before easing off where West Ridge is joined. Cross the Cheval and continue up 200m to the summit. Laurence Earle, Freda Du Faur, Peter Graham, Jan 1910. At least one of the pillars on the north side of the lower ridge has been climbed, and provides excellent climbing (crux 16).
