This trip went a bit unexpected. First, with a faulty GPS track I ended up in a wrong drainage on unpleasant terrain. Luckily, I saved on my phone a photo of the ascent photo from Kane's book. Using this photo was able to find the hidden rump without much trouble. The terrain was very steep scree on slabs - felt more like a "difficult" scramble than "moderate". On the way back, when I retrieved my bike I noticed it had a flat tire. Cycling on a rim wasn't fun. Oh, well. Shit happens.
