Fantastic views over Burstall Pass and Whistling Rock Peak looking over the two glaciers towards the north.Using snow made some sections easier.Traversing off the spur at South Burstall Pass.Looking back at the lower part of the ridge as we get close to the end of it.A sight for sore eyes after 11 hours of climbing - our bivy.Telephoto of one of the many sparkling lakes around the Spray River Valley.Vern climbs on in the clouds - photo by Steven Song.Ben follows down the slabby ridge.Another shot of the rather intimidating summit ridge with Steven just past the pinnacle. I think this section catches some people by surprise.This is the view to the summit from the false summit. Good luck!The Royal Group is almost free of clouds.Steven traverses back to the west ridge from the snow gully.So much better than rotten rock!Vern downclimbs the steep snow gully next to the west ridge. Photo by Steven Song.Typical slab climbing on the SW face as we contour back to the west ridge.Ben descends the short ice section just above the schrund.Yeah baby! 40 at 40.Descending towards South Burstall Pass.Delicate down climbing on the upper summit ridge.The left hand glacier is the access to the NW face direct and the right hand glacier is our access to the skyline West Ridge route.
