East Face Direct

Type: 
Alpine
Description: 
Cross the broad ledge, but before reaching the buttress climb the East Face to the East Peak of Crosscut. The first ascent party gained the east ridge just past the top of the Marian Buttress. A later party (Moore and Bennett, 1973) climbed the left side of the face to about half height, traversed a sloping ledge and continued up the right side of the face to a prominent gendarme on the north east ridge.
