Description Suggest change

From the pass it is right behind the Nunatak. There is information about the routes in the Snowbird hut.

Getting There Suggest change

Heading up the glacier from the hut, this wall is on the right, the nunatak is on the left. Approach requires climbing 50 to 150 feet of loose rock depending on snow levels. Rockfall is common. Getting to the base of the routes can be dangerous, it's a bit more that walking up snowfields.
