Chockstone in the approach gully from the hut. My partner rapping on the right. This approach took us longer than climbing the route itself..

The view down the gully from the massive chockstone in the approach gully when coming from the hut. We rapped on skiers left. You can see the 1st & 2nd pitch bypass ramp down lower to the left.
The extremely loose approach gully when coming from the hut. Descend until you get to a large chockstone then either do a sketchy down climb or a 20m rap.. a bolted rap station would be awesome here!

The rap anchor to get over the chockstone in the approach gully from the hut. One decent nut and two chockstones. A bolted rap station or two would be appreciated here.

Pitch 7 (this is Pitch 8 in Jones guidebook).
Corner at top of Pitch 6 (this is Pitch 7 in Jones guidebook). We climbed past bolted belay midway through corner to a nicer ledge about 10m above the bolted belay.
A section of Pitch 1 has quite a bit of rat poop. Fortunately, we did not see any actual rats and the rats have not infested the other pitches.
