The initial approach follows the same route as described under Mt. Darwin South Face. Due to serac exposure climbing the exact ski line is not recommended. It is more logical to make a loop by heading up to the start of the other south face line and then traversing climber’s left and continuing up the steep upper face, eventually topping out on a col to climbers’ left side of the summit.

The top of the face is very steep (50-55 degrees) and may not always hold snow. The upper 300 meters is the steepest section of the line. The line trends skiers’ right, traversing under some seracs before continuing down the fall line following beautiful spines and onto a small hanging face above some rocks. In good conditions it is possible to ski through the small rock step without needing to rappel. From here it is a straightforward exit back onto the Darwin Glacier. This descent was first skied by Ross Hewitt and Tom Grant in October 2015 and is likely awaiting a repeat descent.
