Grade Route

Starting directly above the Plummer Hut, climb upwards along the ridgeline, varying from side to side following the line of least resistance.

To descend, rappel the route. Fixed rappel tat may be present.

FA: Fred Beckey, Harry King, Charles Shiverick & Leonard Winchester, 1947

Climb the black, lichen-covered depression in the south face, following corner systems to the east ridge, then to the summit.

FA: 1971

Descend the pocket glacier to the base of the southeast buttress. Climb this buttress, through sandy broken terrain and with poor protection in places in the first ~75m. Above this, the rock improves up a steep yellow slab to a small gendarme. Descend into the notch and climb easier ground above to the summit.

Descend as per the West Ridge (down that route.)

FA: Julie Calhoun, Jim Nelson & Heather Paxson, 1988
