This climb was inspired by photographs taken by Ebenezer Teichelmann in 1911. Best approached from Heim Plateau, via the col between Malcolm and Hidden Peaks that leads down to the Malcolm Glacier. A more difficult approach exists via Rangitata Col and the col west of Malcolm Peak, descending snow gullies and rock to the remains of Malcolm Glacier. The 500-metre climb is on good rock slabs with a crack providing the crux.
