Topo ref

This route aims for the prominent ice flow
immediately right of the large shelf on the left
side of the face. Start up steep, loose ground to
the right of Highway to Hell. Five pitches of hard
climbing lead to easier ground to the right of the
large shelf. Take the line of least resistance from
there to the summit icefields, usually as shown in
topo opposite, but variations between there and
the upper section of Route 3.47 have also been
climbed.
