Start up a broad gully on the right of the face until above the prominent central icecliff. Then move up left towards the North Shoulder. The icecliff is currently threatening the route.

Ascend snowslopes towards Witches Col at the foot of the buttress, and head up the northern side of the rib. After 200m cut back onto the rib and follow it to the prominent notch (may require an abseil). Above here cut left and find the best and safest route through the icecliffs.
Alan Berry, Neil Hamilton, Dec 1955.
