The large snow couloir by the Eye Tooth Falls provides access to the McCardell Glacier. The couloir is best approached when there is plenty of snow about. An ice bulge near the top of the couloir can prove troublesome late in the season. Ice cliffs on the McCardell Glacier occasionally shed significant amounts of ice into the couloir. The first ascent commenced from near the former
Lake Otoko, which has subsequently filled in.
