This climb is, or was, a mixed climb up rocks and snow/ice to the right of the Mallory-Porter route and finished at the top slopes of this route.  It is described in the old, blue-backed AC guidebook but it no longer seems to be described in modern guidebooks.  Does anyone know why?

Just a guess, but maybe because it's become too damn dangerous? Must be very rockfall-prone, especially nowadays...
