Grade Route

This route climbs the south side of the westernmost buttress of Combatant. According to Don Serl, a "pristine and challenging line"

FA: Scott Flavelle & Dave Lane, 1982

Climbs the easternmost of the three major south buttresses of Combatant above the col. Approached via a bench at the elevation of the col (the Shelf)

FA: Cam Cairns & Mike Downs, 1982

Climbs the central, rectangular buttress above the Tiedemann icefall, gaining the Shelf. The FA party continued up Kshatrya directly above to the summit of Combatant, in a total of 5 days return trip.

FA: Brendan Cusick & Alan Kearney, 2000

One of the most technically challenging and committing lines in the Range, this massive route climbs the entire southeast pillar of Mount Combatant from the Tiedemann Glacier far below.

Broken by the subpeak of the Incisor and the ridge of the Jawbone, followed by the Toothless Tower and the final headwall, this is a huge undertaking that took the talented first ascentionists 8 days to complete.

FA: Greg Child, Greg Collum & Steve Mascioli, 1994
