150m, 3 pitches. A steep gully cutting through the imposing right wall of Crescent Gully. The route is graded for icy conditions.
1. 40m Climb the gully on ice to belay at a snow terrace.
2. 40m Above the belay is a large overhanging recess baring entry to the upper gully. Continue up to the left of the recess until above the level of the roofs. Make an exposed rightward traverse across a wall to regain ice leading into the upper gully. Follow the upper gully to block belays on the left.
3. 70m Easier ground leads to the plateau.

βeta: We outflanked the roof on the left (traversing back right above it to regain the corner). It should be possible to go direct with more ice.
