We found getting off the top to be a little tricky due to the the summit being undercut with a gap under it on all sides. I ended up traversing on the north side of the summit and then jumping across to a nice duff landing. My partner who is a bit taller stemmed across the same spot but wished he had just jumped instead. Oct 15, 2022
