The climb from Youngman is, as the map suggests, relentless, but manageable- the gradient is such that I’m able to maintain a steady, slow pace. Beech forest provides shade for the first 200m, becomes scrub until 150m before the summit. The cut track ends at the scrubline and a poled route follows climbing steeply through tall rolling tussocks - there is no ground trail. The summit is marked by a cairn.
The poled route follows flat tops over Lilburne Hill before descending SW to the saddle where Tarn Hut can be found on the NW side of the tops.
