West Face

This is the standard ascent and descent route on Mt Sealy but is suffering heavily from loss of permanent snow and ice. After midsummer the route comprises loose rock and steep, hard snow slopes, increasing the grade. Winter, spring and early summer are the best times.
Ascend to Sladden Saddle, circle round the back of the peak, head up the 150m moderately angled face, and then either (i) follow the top of the rotten north-west ridge over a short step, or (ii) traverse right across a shelf to gain easier-angled snow and rock slopes (the preferred route if conditions allow).
