A Good View of the Scramble Up Axis

As you make your way around Lake Stuart you will get some good views of the route up Axis Peak. Actually there isn't a defined route. I found not a single cairn from the lake to the summit! The route is pretty obvious though ~ start heading up the boulders and avoid the gullies to the left and to the right that are full of scree. But the scree will eventually greet you near the summit!
