This route has had several ascents over the past decade; though its first
ascentionists have not been recorded. Climb to the head of Harper Creek and
head towards the basin below the northeast side of the peak. Ascend a rock
slab on far left, which leads to the main North East Ridge. From here the
ridge steepens to a short 10–15m pitch (crux). Above is a nice red arete,
which is followed until broader, easier ground, to loose rock for the final
50–80m to the summit. Descend the North Ridge.

Scrambled all the way up to the crux which is about half way up (couldn't find good anchor option once on main ridge)
Found the crux to be more 14/15.
The crux had good rock but in general was no better than the rest of arthurs pass.
