When flying out of the Waddington Range towards White Saddle, one can look out of the left side of the chopper off to the distance in the north west (north of the waddington range) and see a nice rock peak with a formidable east buttress. I am searching for information and history about this peak.

CAJ'85 p 26. incl photo with route-line.

FA Bill Pilling and Greg Collum Aug'84. IV 5.8.

 

the steep right-hand (N) buttress has had a cpl attempts, but it seems it gets very hard abt 3 pitches up. Simon Richardson and Mark Robson were just in there (came out 3 days ago); Foweraker and co poked around maybe a decade ago...

 

cheers, don

Simon and Mark did a route on Zeus and then tried a second rout then said it was "too hard" according to Mike King so they flew out. didn't go to Queen B afterwards either. I guess we wait for trip report.

North Face Zeus was 24 pitches 5.9 TD according to Audrey's notebook.

 

Ya, Queen Bess sucks. Why would anyone go there? Unless they had a full pig to eat, that is.
