From the Lyell Hut make your way up to southern edge of the lake and keep following the valley onto the glacier. What starts as rocks at first becomes ice a few kilometres later. Just before the final bowl you will see an easily climbable route on the lookers right which brings you up to Mccoy Col. This is the perfect spot to set up camp and take in views of the great divide.

Once rested make your way east up the western ridge of Review Peak. While this is a relatively easy climb it should be done with crampons making your way up to the summit. Standing up top find a route down to the Mccoy glacier where you can descend as far as you are willing to climb back up. Skin back up to Mccoy Col where your tent is and prepare for the long exit ahead. Making your way back down just follow your original assent. Going back to the car you can break this trip up as there are numerous huts along the way.

For anyone who is interest in this ski tour I must reiterate that this approach is a long one.
