Logans Ridge ascent to East Peak, across to Northern Pinnacle and surveying Leaning Peak without summiting, followed by descent down North Ridge. With Hugo and Flynn, Hugo's first 'big' hike.
The track up Logans Ridge was fairly easily to follow most of the time, occasionally disappearing, but only for a short while. It had more challenging scrambling than South-East Ridge, but nothing overly difficult, like many reports say. Views of the East face were second to none. Ascent took 4.5 hours, with juicy breaks along the way, from Yellow Pinch carpark to East Peak.
As a note for future trips, Logans could be used as a quicker but more difficult descent than South-East Ridge. If fatigue is creeping on, it perhaps wouldn't be a quicker option while ensuring a safe descent, so South-East or Peasants should be used.
