A minor but dramatic peak on the watershed 0.5 km directly west of upper Hird Lake. A higher summit (2610m) is 0.5 km southwest of it and west-southwest of the lake. Two kilometres due north of Mount Bor.
Normally these would be accessed as part of a traverse of the Valhallas or as a day trip from Gwillim Basin.
1. Southeast Face. Start at a grassy bench in the middle of the base of the face. Two pitches lead to another grassy ledge, just to the right of a short reddish-brown gully. Cross the gully and ascend left across a broad area of light rock.
A steep climb to the right gains a tree band, allowing a scramble to the summit. Eight pitches in all on solid and easily protected rock. (II,5.4).

2. Northern Couloirs. Descended by the party of Route 1.
