East Face

The steep east face of Jackson is a lee slope, accumulates snow, and sheds
major avalanches into the North Elcho valley. A route up the face can be
climbed from the North Elcho Stream beyond the end of the Beech forest. Cross
to the true right of the stream and pull through sub-alpine scrub and tussock
onto a prominent rib. A small bivvy site under a rock on the ridge provides
space for 2-3 persons, with other tent sites nearby. Follow the obvious rib
up the face to reach pleasant rock ledges and the north end of the summit
pyramid. A difficult cheval is required to reach the summit.
