Beginning from a delightful tussock basin at 1000m above the Darkwater–Lyttle confluence, this route generally comprises straightforward snowgrass, rock, and snow slopes, apart from an 80m section of steep slabs around 1600m. Stay on the north-west side of the ridge above 1500m. The final summit block is best tackled by traversing around the west side to the northern slopes.
