Description
Climb the gully between Trireme Wall and Gladsheim to the ridge crest (snow or boulders). Gain the ridge crest and continue up (lots of 4th) to the first crux. Continue via more 4th to the second crux, which leads to a chimney tunnel through the ridge from the south to the north side! Continue on again to where it gets easier. Walk to the base of the final summit tower and scramble to summit. Definitely somewhat more challenging on the cruxes than the NW Ridge of Sir Donald.
