On the Eastern Side

On the eastern side, climb easy slopes from the head of the Grey Glacier. Grey Pass should be crossed at its lowest point. Alternatively, climb Seymour to within 50 metres of the summit and then descend a short couloir, which provides access to the west ridge of Seymour. See above. Access down the Grey Glacier may often be impassable these days due to the icefall at about 1500 metres, especially during summer. An alternative route could lie over Gordon Peak.
