Approach
From upper Pinnacle Stream: ascend the true left of the Monk Glacier to reach the pass (route 7.19).
From Murchison valley: A direct route from the Murchison is complicated by deeply incised gullies, bluffs, and scrub. It is probably easier to begin about 2km further downstream, and climb over a 2000m saddle into the basin below the pass. The final climb to the pass is on scree and snow gullies (grade I, 1+, route 6.71).
