Description

Ascend the southwest ridge of Point Farine by milking the path of least resistance between exposed and loose scree and snow slopes.

Upper Southwest Ridge past any exposed rock band will be a reasonably low angle snow slope leading to the pointy summit. Nice views!

Location

Start in the little pocket northeast of Crosson.

Protection

Prudent to have a crevasse kit especially for the approach down lower on the glacier. Selection of pickets and ice screws would provide some security if needed.
