From just above the saddle, the track descends to the valley floor and continues on the TL (marked with poles and cairns) through to the Dart Hut.

It is possible, at low flow, to travel in the river course from the glacier to below the gorge (lots of rock hopping required) rejoining the track at the top od the grassy flat (980m contour). It's not a short cut but an interesting alternative.
