Description

From the Colonial-Neve col, descend 300 feet to the Neve Glacier, then ascend to the Southeast edge at the base of the West Ridge.  Follow the broad ridge up to a gully on the climber's left.  Ascend the gully until just before its end, then climb up and over the climber's lefthand wall, down climbing to a ramp system.  Ascend the ramp system towards the summit, traversing to the climber's right about 50 feet below the summit into an open gully to reach the summit.

Begin the route at the base of the West Ridge.

Protection

A rope can be useful for some of the airy sections, especially if the route holds snow and verglas.
