Follow Trojan Stream or Alma Stream, directly to Alma Col and climb loose rock straight up from the col. A
bluff near the start of the route can be bypassed by a short, exposed traverse on a narrow ledge
west of the ridge, or a rising traverse on loose rock on the east side. Either may require a rope.
The south-west face can be used in good snow conditions.
