Head up to Wye Saddle and towards the southeast ridgeline and climb the mild slabs towards a distinct couloir. At the top, you'll need to climb over a pretty exposed section to follow a short ledge to the summit.

Head up to Wye Saddle. From there follow the obvious ridgeline/arete to the summit. The last section can be a bit committing.

Blast your way up the east face following the good snow. Later sections are above some decent bluffs so long slides could have big consequences.

Great , logical line with steep climbing on the first 3 pitches. Technical grade will vary depending on conditions, so loathe to give a mixed grade. A full single rack would be wise, ideally double greens and reds, plus small/medium wires. No screws placed. 200 + m descent via normal s-east ridge. Climbed in 4 +1 pitches.
