The Bonney Headwall is a good late season option for the West Ridge when access to the base of the Bonney Rib is cut off.
From the head of the Bonney Glacier, scramble up and left on slabs/snow for 100m. Pick a line up compact rock that steepens progressively to a crux before reaching a ledge (two or three pitches). Continue up another three or four pitches to the cheval, or follow the ledge to the right to meet the top of the Bonney Rib.
