Climbs the far right edge of the west face. From the Darwin Glacier, ascend the lower section of a tributary glacier that leads towards Mt Hamilton, then cross a rock spur that leads to Pt 2835m to gain a large snowfield below and right of the Haeckel summit block. From the snowfield, climb to a square snow patch on the west face (could be a rocky shelf in late summer), then onto the upper South West Ridge. Ernst Haeckel was the first person known to use the term ‘First World War’, the same year Frind and Kain used this route.
