From the Frind-Mueller confluence, ascend part of the way up the true right edge of the lower Frind Glacier, then climb left along rock ledges. Just before reaching the Ngakanohi Glacier turn right to climb up a narrow S-shaped gully that leads to a large, wide rock buttress. Climb the rock (there are several possible options) to gain a vague snow and rock rib to the right of the broad gully that descends from below the summit. Climb the rib directly to the summit.
