Description
A beautiful climb, on good rock.
The route climbs the ridge to the left(west) of the Buckingham Ridge. Lots of options along the ridge. Gain the ridge from the couloirs on either side, snow through much of the season. Once melted out these couloirs become fairly hazardous, with significant loose rock. The rock is good quality along the crest of the ridge. There are many options on the ridge.
