From the lower Barrowman Valley, scramble up onto this rocky ridge. Higher up, a snowfield
gives a break, and there is enjoyable climbing on weatherworn rock slabs. Mixed ground then
leads to the low peak. There is a descent and considerable climb from the low to the high peak
and, on the first ascent, the route led north across a snowfield to a col on the North Ridge. Easy
scrambling along that leads to the high peak.

From the Butler River South Branch, ascend the snow gully that leads directly to the col
between Pt 2198 metres and Pt 2020 metres and continue to the summit.

From the Butler River South Branch head up the gully under the col at Pt 1838 metres, then
north up snow slopes. From about the height of the col swing back to the left across broad
ledges, a gully and steeper rock to the vicinity of the col itself. Follow up the South Ridge.
