Hi MC
To the left of the prow as you face it there is a fairly step grassy gully which is fine if your in crampons. I have been up that way twice & found it far less nerve racking in snow. The gully holds the snow. I came down the prow path which was clear of snow, but i am sure you could down climb the gully in the right gear. It's maybe 20 meters (wrough guess)
