Access to this face is from Sefton Biv via Tuckett Col: Head up the rib behind the bivvy to where a broad bench runs across the top of the Huddleston Glacier. Negotiate your way into the upper Huddleston and continue up to cross the divide at Tuckett Col.
Ascend a snow ramp right towards the centre of the face, then head up on fairly good rock, tending left towards the east ridge. The route breaks out onto a shelf some 180m below the summit. Either veer right to ascend snow slopes above the north ridge (as on the first ascent) or keep things interesting by veering left to climb the top step of the North East Ridge.
