From the foot of Fyfe’s Gut ascend the rib to the left of a wide gully via a corner (crux 14). Trend left (towards Fyfe’s Gut) and then follow the crest of the buttress until reaching a leftward traverse across a steep wall. Then follow red slabs and possible ice leads to join the North Ridge 150m from the summit.
