Similar in difficulty to the Bonney Rib— combining these routes would make an excellent traverse of Malte Brun. Most parties begin from the Bonney Glacier just above the upper icefall,but there is wide scope for variations. The first25m involves delicate climbing on rounded holds, where the glacier has retreated in recent years. Above this the rock is good and the holds morepositive (sustained grade 10 climbing), with a short cheval section higher up. Highly recommended
