A straight forward scramble mostly on rock and scree. The approach from the upper Hazard valley is probably easiest.
From Strachan Pass 1+

Head directly north from the saddle up snowslopes then scree and scramble up small bluffs to the Main Divide at J34 376713. Several transalpine parties have used these two routes on Mt Lord to cross from the Vane to Strachan Pass.

We crossed over Mt Lord and Strachan Pass in Dec 2014 and found it a straightforward crossing from Vane Stream down to the Clarke and Ramsay Glaciers.
