Poled through to just below the summit, as the ridge narrows, the terrain becomes more rocky and sidles the north-facing slope. However, the track is well defined and easily followed. The last climb to the rather flat top is steep but not dangerous. At the top, there is a low rock wall providing minimal shelter - good views if the weather is kind.

Note: Described in the reverse direction to your journey

From the summit, descend following the pole-line, sidling into the saddle. The well-defined track continues descending along the ridge to the marked track junction.
