If the snow gods have been kind, there will sometimes be steep snow/ice gullies on the south-west headwall. From the col between Mt Arthur and Winter Peak, traverse steep slopes and then descend to a shelf, which leads around the cirque to below the peak. The main gully exits at the summit, and is an excellent climb when filled.
