From the Fitzgerald lake, ascend towards the 2416m col until about 1950m, then traverse left beneath bluffs onto the large snowfield below Eagle Peak. In 1953 this snowfield was continuous from Thomson to Eagle Peak, and the first ascent party reported that a rock scramble took them from the head of the snow to the flat summit. It appears that several additional rock steps now exist due to recession of the snow and ice, but a couple of moderate routes to the summit appear feasible.
