The rock making up this 300m wall is again nothing short of sensational by local standards, offering overlapping plates and finger cracks. The Corsair also serves as an abseil descent route for all other routes on Mt Drake. To access the West Wall, follow the Astrolabe description and then continue up the scree/snow gully at the base of the wall, passing a bivvy sized rock, All the West Wall routes share the same scramble to the summit. The following routes are described from left to right.
