Take the prominent couloir that leads up from the head of the Lawrence Glacier. If out of condition, climb the buttress on the right – on a thin band of solid rock with plenty of small holds. Head out of the couloir onto the exposed rock of a prominent rib, which leads up the face to the summit ridge. Climb a short distance along the ridge to the summit pinnacles.
