This route entails a 20 metre abseil off the eastern end of Leaning Peak. We also abseiled down the steepest section of North Peak following a scramble down the upper northern slopes. On a previous trip, two 50 metre ropes were enough for us to abseil down the North Peak cliffs onto Eagle's Ridge, avoiding an unpleasant scramble. We have never been able to locate the descent route through the upper cliffline on Eagle's Ridge. A cairn or some other marker could be a useful addition.
