Prior to recession of the Grey and Maud Glacier, access to this scenic ridge was straightforward. There is now a large, steep moraine wall. The best place to ascend this is unknown, but a route from the lower Grey may be possible at present. The ridge is a moderately steep scramble on loose rock. The south face may have been used to descend by the first ascentionists.
