After reaching the col there are a number of options to gain the foot of the South Face. These options have come into being because of the great glacial recession.
(1) Climb most of the way up the ridge separating the Little South Face (the Little South Face is the triangular face with the East Ridge on its right hand edge) and the South Face then descend to the glacier. Be aware that the small ice cliff clinging to the face down and right of the Low peak is active and deposits debris all the way down to the lower glacier.
(2) The Little South Face has a number of interesting gully lines on it which give a challenging start at about grade 4.
(3) Climb the East Ridge to the top of the second step avoiding the first rock step and descend SE Corner Route.
