The infamous summit block of...

The infamous summit block of Mt. Darwin. The easiest route does not go up from this perspective, but rather from behind the block. If you make a traverse around, it becomes obvious which way is easier.

Actually, this does

show the easiest way. Took me just over five minutes to climb from the plateau to the summit block. You show the descent chute (right front) and the ascent chute (left back) and the block below the summit you climb to. After that, it's just a two second scramble up Bob Burd's staircase.
