From the head of the Bonney Glacier, scramble up and left on slabs/snow for 100m. Pick a line
up compact rock that steepens progressively to a crux (grade 14) before reaching a ledge (two –
three pitches). Continue up another three – four pitches to the cheval, or follow the ledge to the
right to meet the top of the Bonney Rib. A good late season option when access to the base of the
Bonney Rib is cut off.
