Terrain is blocky as we ascend.. The rocks are mostly stable.

We can see the col off on the right.. Conor found a trail of sorts and is following it. I had thought about traversing higher, but decided to come back down and follow him.

Finally on the col.. looking at the summit ridge over Conor's right shoulder. From here it looks pretty straight forward. We check the time and GPS. less than 200 m of elevation and it's just after 5pm. I think we're going to make it.
