300m. The ridge left of Central Gully - good when the ice is poorly formed. Start left of Central Gully’s lower icefall and climb easily to where the ground steepens. A line on the right of this steep section was taken, climbing rightwards up a line of weakness and passing a smooth groove which heads left to reach a recess below a prominent jutting block. Pull out left through a small cave (crux) and go left up a less well defined groove to reach the crest (50m). Follow the crest which becomes progressively easier until just scrambling to the top.
