All The President’s Men

From Red Hut, climb through the beech forest just north of the stream until the forest edge is reached at about 1400m. Follow a narrow, clear path through subalpine vegetation and climb between two hillocks to reach the tarn at 1500m, then continue upvalley. The 750m high face and central couloir, which is visible from Monument Hut, provides an interesting mixed rock and ice route in summer, and finishes on the east ridge 100m from the summit. The rock on the lower section of the zigzag is fractured and requires concentration.
