From Green Saddle, follow a ridge of rotten rock to the summit (good snow cover would help here).See also Route 4.34. A variant involves moving left from the Green Saddle route into a narrow ice couloir which leads to the upper south ridge.
First ascent from Hooker Glacier unknown.

Gained from the upper Linda Glacier either via the snowslope to Green Saddle or up a rib on the right. Thence up a steep rotten ridge. This route is possibly the best descent route off Dampier.
