left car 3:30 am, summited 4:30 pm, tag teamed rappels down gully, started crossover traverse near sundown, took wrong gully and spent an hour downclimbing some of the worst steepest loosest scree around, bivied at low col between parkes and fraser tower not long thereafter with running water nearby.
got up the next morning and back to car before noon - slowed last 3 hrs by dug's sprained ankle.
route details: there are at least two stuck cams, gave both a brief jiggle but the route was too crowded to spend much time working on extracting either one
definitely worth bringing a helmet
