Aladdin’s Couloir 180m IA Henderson and EM Davidson, 24 March 1935
The large dog-leg gully which flanks the left side of Aladdin’s Buttress. There may be a small ice pitch at the bend. Sometimes a good ice pitch develops on the left wall just by the bend. Above this the gully widens, and at a col above Aladdin’s Seat is joined by Aladdin’s Mirror.
Original Route 100m IV,5**W March and B Manson, 13 February 1972
Lies on the left side of the buttress and overlooks Aladdin’s Couloir. Start 5m above and right of the toe of the long narrow rib that forms the lowest rocks on the left of the buttress. Climb a shallow corner with a couple of moves on its right to a prominent flake, well seen in profile from the right, and continue to a large snow ramp running up the flank of the buttress. From the top of the ramp climb up to some big blocks, then take the obvious line going up and left in a series of steps on the wall overlooking Aladdin’s Couloir. An alternative start begins at the foot of the lowest rock and climbs a groove onto the crest V,6.
