A clear shot of your objective
The easy scramble up the west ridge is also the mountains main descent route for hard climbs. A ice pick may be good for the top as it is always has some snow and huge cornices, also a bit of hands and feet climbing is used in one spot enroute.
It goes from the left col and up the left sunlit side to the top.
