Le Blanc Face

From the lower Le Blanc glacier ascend steep rock and icecliffs to reach the
northern snowslopes. Once on the relative safety of the snowfield traverse
across to gain the west ridge to the summit. A difficult and dangerous climb
which required a bivouac before the summit was reached. Exit from the climb
was over Mt Hopkins, with a further bivouac on the summit of that peak. First
attempted by TomBarcham, AlecWitten-Hannah and Ash Cunningham in December
1952.
