Traverse in from below the Barrier-Crosscut Col to the base of the buttress on the right of the waterfall cleft. Six pitches of good rock and lots of scrambling to the Crosscut snowfield.

Inside the gully of Orchasm.
Two roped pitches. Follow the face to below an overhang, then to a corner where the skyline arête steepens.

Follow steepening arête a short way to the top; sling abseil. Surprisingly good climbing on sparse gear - take some pitons for pro. Carry on through exposed scrambling to the snowfields above.
