Montague Spur

A striking line. Gain the ridge separating the upper Times and Montague Glaciers (good bivouac sites here), head up the edge of the Montague Névé, and onto the right edge of the great slab dropping from the West Peak. Continue straight up to West Peak or, depending on the season, use steep snow to the left before moving right again onto the rib near the top. The best conditions occur when crevasse conditions allow for an easy approach and when the route is dry to allow pleasant rock climbing – possibly a rare combination.
