Approach

From the Murchison: Route 6.57 on topo. Ascend the moraine wall either near Sunset Falls (which may no longer be feasible), or beneath the west face of Conrad (has been used more recently without trouble). Then climb up scree and snow to the pass. The descent to the south branch of the Rutherford Stream is long and steep but not complicated.
