On the McAllister Glacier, head to a point slightly northwest of Dorado Needle
Fun climbing along the ridge. Pitch 2.
Ascend the snow (possible exposed bergschrund) to get onto the ridge
Looking down the NW Ridge from the false summit of Dorados Needle in August 2019. The climber in orange is at the top of first ridge-pitch.
NW ridge on approach. Couldn't climb snow due to moat, right side is good rock. Red line is more standard to go around the corner. Blue line cuts left on fun rock
