After skiing down to Watsons Creek, buckle up and start skinning back up the drainage line to the prominent saddle between Tenison Woods Knoll and Mt Twynam. Follow the river lower down, and in a good season it should be covered higher up, but it can always be helpful to orientate yourself. Watch out for any avalanche activity on the way up and hopefully you will have already checked snow conditions beforehand. The climb is relatively simple and takes about 1-2 hours, depending on fitness.
Difficulty
