The steep spur opposite Banfield Hut provides a direct route to the plateau north-east of
Bastion Peaks. Alternatively, travel up Jagged Stream towards the Assault Glacier and traverse
below the rock face to the basin. A cone of scree leads to a prominent couloir (watch for rock
fall). From within the couloir, move right above bluffs and onto the North East Ridge, which
offers easy climbing to the summit.

Mt Medhurst and Bastion Peaks take the north spur directly to the summit.
