Cross the Hollyford River and climb scree towards a waterfall which drops out of a prominent west-facing gut. Cross the gut and move right, reaching the east ridge at about 1800m. The first ascent party descended onto the Marian slopes to bypass Pt 1983, regaining the ridge to reach the East Peak. The East Peak is Pt 2185, not Pt 1983 as shown on the topomap.
