The lower half of the original Curver ‘Classic’
has been destroyed by the rockfalls. The new
version of The Curver, up the rear left side of the
new gully, is likely to turn into one of the most
popular hard ice routes on the South Face, as it
forms regularly.
Climb the obvious steep ice flow in the back
of the gully, which is usually thin, to reach the
right end of an obvious small shelf, then traverse
slightly left and take your pick of the best looking
line above, up ice gullies and possibly some
mixed ground for about six pitches to reach the
summit icefields.
