Here is my best estimate of the route we followed. Photo taken from campsite along Bubs Creek

Dawn over Mount Brewer, North Guard, & Mount Francis Farquhar seen from Charlotte Dome.

Approach from the West staying near the creek somewhat. This photo ~30 mins from the base

Looking down at one of the early pitches, around pitch 3 (depending on how you link them).

Hiking in from the East. Leaving the TH at midnight made for a great sunrise at perfect timing

Topping out on the South Face. Go around the westside of the summit block and down it's backside to descend.

Western approach up Bubb's creek. There was plenty of carins and very little bushwacking the way we took. DM me if you'd like a gpx track of the approach.

Start of Pitch 1
