ACCESS:

1. From Gertrude Saddle, walk up a reasonably formed path (unmarked) towards the snow
   fields for about 20 minutes. Afterwards, start traversing right either on snow slopes or rock
   and scree in late season. Crampons may be required throughout the whole summer if
   approaching the route before noon. Allow about 20-30 minutes on the traverse, then head
   up the rock slabs towards the summit ridge of Barrier Knob and look for a big cairn which
   marks the start/end of the route. Once you look over the ridge, you’ll spot a spacious ledge
   and an anchor with orange rep cord and an old hex marked “Daisy”. Rappel to the base of
   the route, each of the 4 pitches separately.
2. From Barrier Knob, descend to the Barrier Peak col, and scramble down the slabs to the
   névé at the base of the face. Head left, and keep an eye out for a single bolt with orange rep
   cord which marks the start of the route. Scramble up a steeper 15m high slab (gr.12) to the
   first anchor.
