The first ascent party camped on the
Nansen névé and crossed the west ridge
of Cassino to access the Gino Watkins
Glacier. The descent into the Gino
Watkins was particularly steep. From theGino Watkins Glacier climb the west face of Pt 2543 metres to access the Main Divide southwest
of Mt Moffat. The summit ridge was largely sidled on the left, returning to the Divide
just below the top for a final arête. Reported as scrambling, with the odd pitch along the Main
Divide.
