The upper section of the North West Ridge (used on the first ascent of Hicks) fell away sometime in the late 1940s, revealing a large expanse of rotten rock that frequently rattles down a prominent corner known as ‘The Curtain’. Climbing in this area would currently be unpleasant and dangerous. For information on the Standard Route on Hicks, refer to Route 3.37.
