Trip notes
From the club member's GPS log of the trip (5 February 2005), lightly edited, with people's names removed. Conditions may have changed since.
Travel up the 'hut' creek until the ground starts to steepen, then move up fairly clear ground, eventually travelling on the crest of the spur above. Approaching the bluffs below the main ridge, a way can be seen traversing ledges below the bluffs to give access to scree. Travel up the scree, traversing towards Longfellow. Don't go directly up the scree to the low point above, as there is an impassable gendarme that will force a descent again to bypass it.
