1 | 1South East Ridge | ||||||
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. |
|||||||
2 | 2North East Ridge, 2 | 2 | 0m | ||||
Head up to Wye Saddle. From there follow the obvious ridgeline/arete to the summit. The last section can be a bit committing.

2.1 | 2.1North East Alternative | ||||||
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. |

White Privilege , III,5 | III,5 | 200m | |||||
First winter ascent of East face of Single Cone, Murray Ball Bill Feasey, 27 August 2022 .
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. |
