A classic, which is often in condition when the other routes on the face are out of condition. Incredibly this was skied in late October 2017 by the team that made the first ski descent of the Caroline Face. Ascend the second prominent snow cone from the South Ridge and follow a ramp out right and into an amphitheatre. Move up left onto the crest of a buttress and then follow snowfields to the summit.
