Possibly the easiest route to the summit. Head up Jagged Glacier (can be cut off late season) to gain the Lawrence divide at the foot of the North Ridge. Drop below the ridge on the Lawrence side until reaching a wedge-shaped gap, then climb easy couloirs on the Rakaia side back onto the ridge for the final few gaps and pinnacles to the summit.
