| Reached via Cons Track, which ascends on the Southwest Ridge from the Bealey River crossing on the Punchbowl Falls track. Once the bushline is reached continue ascending the ridge on loose rock. At the base of the bluffs, a rough trail sidles northwards ascending slowly under the bluffs. After 250 metres a steep scree gully is reached. Ascend this to the easier boulder slopes of the main ridge. | |||||||||||

| Ascend MT AICKEN from the summit the long tortuous ridge that encloses the Punchbowl Falls Creek catchment is visible. Continue along this ridge. Most obstacles tend to be gendarmes, being generally bypassed on one or other sides (mostly Punchbowl Creek side). Towards BLIMIT the ridge rock rises in 30¼-60¼ slabs, some with extreme exposure. Protection is sparse, but the rock grades are easy (Grade 12-14). This buttress can be avoided by sidling out under its southern flank, ascending a narrow loose gully to join the South Ridge. Descend to Bill’s Basin. | |||||||||||
