Near the centre of the east face is a broad gully with a prominent rock rib on the left, a snow and rock rib on the right, and a steep rocky headwall. From the Baker névé, head up the gully on moderately steep snow/ice (up to 55 degrees), then below the headwall move right onto the mixed snow and rock arête and up to the summit ridge. A route best done fairly quickly due to risk from ice avalanches and rockfall.

A classic route. From the Baker névé, gain the rib via snow slopes on the left and ascend the mixed snow and rock steps. The rib eases into a snow arête and joins the top of the north-east ridge.
