On right of 2+ East Ridge route. Follow rock-band with left traverses to a
near-vertical 55m ice & rock gully. This crux pitch is committing and
difficult to down-climb, so rest calves midway on rock jutting out on left.
Set belay high to give leader enough rope as it top-outs onto an icy slope
≈30m from ridge. 4 ice-screws for crux (although this was done on 2) and
stakes. Follow ridge to summit on left and descend via East Ridge route.
