There is now a very clear trail cutoff for the Robinson route. However, my GPS put the breakoff at around the 2 1/4 mile mark and the Elevation at just under 8200 (8180 ft).
It's tempting to aim for the ridge towards the south, but the easiest way is to head for the lowest spot on the ridge. On Saturday I made the mistake of heading way south. Access to the ridge was not possible for a long way, but I just kept following relatively easy slopes hoping for a break. At around 10,500 feet I hit a massive drop off - game over.
