On the Western Side

On the western side, the first stream below Ice Lake offers good travel up towards Grey Pass with the odd pitch of steeper rock. To avoid the confined lower part of the stream, use the spur on the true right and sidle in at about the 1100–1200-metre contour. Alternatively, this spur itself can be used to access the pass, with a bit of route finding and scrambling involved higher up, leading to within about 50 metres of Seymour Peak.
