This can be climbed in number of ways: either by the Direct Route or For Whom the Bell Tolls, from the Mueller Glacier, or via Sefton Bivvy and across the slopes under the Footstool Ridge, which gives access to the lower and upper Shelf Glacier.

NB, that pic I uploaded belongs to Cam Mulvey. I just borrowed it to indicate roughly where my solo route goes. The fat ski bunny in the foreground is probably Guy McSkinnin
For Whom The Bell Tolls: the route is marked completely wrong in the guidebook photo. The route does not connect up with any other lines, it is a completely independent climb. It takes a direct 2000m line from the Mueller Glacier moriane to the unnamed peak south of Sefton, deviating around some big crevasses on the upper shelf.
The first part of the climb up to the lower shelf is like a loose 70 degree moraine wall and no fun to climb. It could be avoided by walking up the lower shelf glacier instead.
