Description
Cross the bergschrund, which can be tenuous and involving a mixed traverse in from the right, to access the first pitch of ice.
Climb a long pitch of WI4+ to a snow slope and up to the crux pitch. The crux has steep ice for 30 feet or so, eases off, and then gets beneath a free-hanging dagger at WI6. Find a way onto the dagger and ascend to the top of the flow, easing to slightly off-vertical.
Climb a couple more steep ice steps and gain the upper snowfield, cutting between rock buttresses and then heading up and right to the summit.
