From the névé of the Bonney Glacier, ascend the prominent snow and ice couloir to within 200m of the summit. Not recommended, especially in late summer, as some of the worst rock on Malte becomes exposed in the upper couloir. This is not the couloir famously glissaded by Fyfe, which is smaller and further left.
