Making our way up to the ridge with water cascading down around us
The first view of the ridge ahead one topping out on it.

Orion eating up some ridge. Mmmmm... yummy.
Almost to the summit block. We bailed just on the slab below “The Hermit”, the pinnacle at centre.
Just before where we bailed. “The Hermit is actually at centre but blends in. The slab we stopped on is sloping left to right in the bottom third of the photo
Here's Wayne, perched high up on the summit block. They managed to summit.
Ben rappeling off the final technical part of the ridge.
