Descending loose scree from the cliff traverse on King George.Steven leads the side-hill traverse around to the SW face of Princess Mary.Steven leads the side-hill traverse around to the SW face of Princess Mary.King George rises impressively above Ben and Eric as they traverse the west slopes of Princess Mary en route to finding a route up to her summit.Steep scrambling lower down - this was the easier stuff near the bottom.Nice staircase terrain - kind of like Murchison's amphitheater but smaller.Ascending above the steeper lower terrain to the even steeper upper terrain.Looking back along the scree traverse from where we started the SW face ascent. King George visible in the distance.The terrain is also very loose.With careful routefinding there were non-technical ascent paths.Eric negotiates a steep chimney just before the summit block.Looking ahead to the final challenge - getting up to the summit!Another old register.
