Begin at the apex of the large scree/snow cone below the face and climb thinly iced mixed ground to the lower snow/ice field. Tend left and enter a steep and tight snow filled corner, which leads to a prominent snow patch at approximately half height on the face. Above this begin directly up steep slabs and through an overhang, crux, to where the climbing eases back slightly. Continue straight up to top out right of the prominent rock tower on the ridge leading to the summit of Single Cone. |

92 | 92Stairway to Methven, M5 | M5 | 250m | ||||
Start to the right of Fire in the Sky and follow the left tending snow ramp to the base of the steeper mixed ground. From here head directly up the edge of the rock spur between the west and south faces. When the gradient eases, gain the spur itself and continue up towards the top of the face. Tackle the final headwall via a large corner which is blocked at the top by several large chock stones. Climb under these to easier ground to finish just to the right of the normal descent gully leading from the summit of Single Cone. |

This climb stays true to the centre of the upper headwall to the summit. A fantastic day out with a stunning final pitch!
