The obvious natural top to bottom line – a typical ice route, usually best in late winter. The climbing is straightforward in the lower sections with three distinct steps but steepens higher up, with little protection, and contains a rock step just below the Jagged-Upham Col. The route is subject to debris fall. From five to eight pitches may be needed, depending on conditions. This route is time-consuming and saw several attempts before it was successfully climbed.
