Climb a thin ribbon of ice immediately right of Moonshine Buttress. The crux on the first ascent was a short, narrow chimney, followed by a few metres of overhanging ice. Another full pitch high on the route was very thin, with near to no protection. The amount of reliable protection may vary with ice conditions. Descending the route was difficult and serious due to lack of anchors. In similar conditions, it may be better to abseil down the north ridge of Conway to the col, and then down an easy snow gully.
