Mt Spence is a classic upper Landsborough peak, with a gentle west-facing dip slope and a steep scarp to the east. From what’s left of the Le Blanc Glacier, climb to the north, gaining height on easy snow slopes to reach the col east of Pk 2204m. Avoid the tricky slabs by following snow leads where possible. From the col, climb the west ridge to the summit. The first party on the route used it as a descent.
