This is a difficult and serious crossing and is by no means a packing route. The Cuttance Col route has not been used much and information is scant.
From the large avalanche cone on the true right of the Strauchon Glacier (BX15 633 666), ascend near the base of the large slabs on the right to reach the ridge crest about 300m east of Pt 2055m. From here, traverse west along the sharp and tremendously exposed ridge until about 500m west of Cuttance Col. Descend steep bluffy slopes, tending left, to reach the Gulch Glacier. Several abseils may be required. It may be easier to descend even further west, using the access to the north ridge of Mt Copland.
