A long and interesting rock ridge, with good rock on the section between the Neish and Ruth Glaciers. Originally accessed from the Godley Glacier on the true left of the Ruth Glacier, which is now almost impossible due to glacial recession. The lower ridge can also be gained from the lower Neish Glacier.
