West Ridge

Grade
III,2
Quality
0
Located on

From Harper's Rock Biv, climb tussock and snow-grass to shingle until the ridge turns to a series of sharp gendarmes. These are passed on the glacier to the north, staying high seems to present few if any cracks. Intersecting slabs and snow-fields lead to the summit. Glacial recession may complicate the final climb in the future. The peak is also climbable from the saddle by Shark's Teeth through a series of ledges and shallow gullies, but this is more difficult and exposed.
