I assume the crux

here is through that gap in the giant cornice where the use trail continues on up. Looks like quite a job.

Re: I assume the crux

The route goes slightly out of shot on the right hand side which was actually quite straightforward, then down slightly to the low point in the picture. There was a short steep section getting onto the main summit mushroom but from some pictures I've seen, it wasn't nearly as exciting as it could have been!

Re: wow

Thanks for your comment. I can see why the route is rated so highly, it is aesthetically very beatiful. Do it - it's definitely worth the effort.
