Missed the turnoff to the Tabor lake, so instead of backtracking, ascended the rubble gully on the East face (C3) to South ridge. After the look at the loose talus on the standard route, decided to take the South ridge to the saddle with Tellurium. The fist tower is bypassed on the left at very exposed C4, but the rest of the towers can be comfortably bypassed to the right at C3-C4. Pretty good rock quality overall. Ridge maybe better going the opposite way, as you upclimb the obstacles. Downclimb into the saddle was a but tricky at C4. Was thinking to continue on the ridge, but bailing off the saddle and taking the grassy slope up Tellurium goes faster. Also had a water refill in the basin.
