There are a number of peaks on the range south of Tragedy Col which appear to be feasible climbs, and Peak 2356 is the highest of these. But the steeply sloped western side of the Dobson Valley appears to have deterred all climbers.
A stream, usually choked with avalanche debris, issues from between steep rock walls. Start of up the stream bed, then follow up a steep grassy gully on the true left (north) side. Near the top of the gully the route swings around to the left and then back to the right around a big rock to where a series of cairns leads to the top of the bluffs. Thence climb diagonally to the right along a sloping bench, until the final snow slopes are reached leading directly to the col.
