|||||
Historically the normal route to climb from the crater to Sharks Tooth. Scramble from the crater or traverse the ledge from Surrey Road entrance. Corner and easy ledges lead to a narrow cleft behind some precariously balanced, enormous boulders.
‡ The cleft can be icy with freezing conditions and impassible in winter and spring, when it can be choked with ice. Fencing wire fixed in place is not suitable for anchors.
Unknown, c.1930.

corner, be extra careful at the top.

11 | Right-hand Route | 13 | 25m |

![]() |
|||||
More recognised as an ice route, but an excellent rock experience. Start as above, bridge the corner under LH route and follow the ledge out right, continue up, plenty of gear if you require it. The corner becomes slightly obtuse, step out right on the face to a small ledge, (crux move). Continue up to the belay shelf then finish to the top of Sharks Tooth, either direct (L) or follow the crack R, with a hand traverse near the top to finish.

![]() |
|||||
Starts on the first buttress south of the R and L-hand Routes. Great parallel, and vertical crack at the start (16), leads on to a fractured slab R, then direct over sometimes awkward blocks to the top. Plenty of gear if you want it.

13 | Zero Buttress | 15 | 25m |
|
![]() |
|||||
The most direct and interesting route on the face. Starts on top of a scree ridge 10 m right of Sub Zero. Nice vee corner to begin, leads to an excellent fractured slab R tending under an overlap. At the top of the slab move back left (crux), surmount the overlap, then direct up steep blocky finish, watch out for loose rock here.

From Zero follow the ledge south almost to its termination with the southern aspect. The route starts on an attractive slab with a dominant crack right. Above this several ledges lead you right and under a big block (crux), body smear the block and continue to the South Ridge.

16 | South Ridge | 8 | 70m |
|
![]() |
|||||
Starts in a frozen snow tongue, just inside the crater entrance of Teds Alley (An ice axe can be handy to cut steps). Move right up a blocky corner and ledges take you to the south ridge. A blocky scramble up the ridge, then move left out around a ledge (crux grade 10—exposure) and finish the last moves on the western aspect to the top of Sharks Tooth, there are many variations. Finish with a complete traverse to the north and down the chimney or Surrey road.
