This slash on the right side of the face was used as a variant start to the Coxcomb. The route is nice straight up ice climbing and a wonder-filled start to the Coxcomb. Some of the route approaches vertical but bridging eases the strain. Five full fifty-metre pitches.

Can be done in 4 pitches with a 60 metre rope if you start at the first steep step - that is, if the schrund doesn't need belaying.
