Like the Crater Face of Tahurangi, this wall provokes strong differences of opinion:

This peak, Ruapehu’s second highest point, is really just a bump on the ridge. It is likely most often climbed as part of a Crater Rim traverse to or from Tahurangi. Also known as Shark’s Tooth, because it appears as a sharp spike from Turoa skifield.
