Description
The route can be done in 2-3 pitches, but you could do as many as 5 I would think.
There are 2 definite pitches of easy ice/snow that lead to the upper snow field. From here there are 3 distinct separate variations that could be taken. I suppose you could do each one and rap back to the snowfield and then do the next. The left is the hardest, right is the easiest.

Location
When approaching from the North, you cannot see Hidden Gully until you have passed the top of the Notch and are heading down the South side. Look up across from Elephants Head and you will see the second snow field and two of the three finishing pitch options off of it.
Approach is up a slide path about 500 vert. feet to the beginning of the gully. The approach starts in a roadside pullout just a few hundred yards south of the stone hut.
