@@ilonamissbach867 that's great! I think that is the better way to do it. Your way gets the bushwhack out of the way first and then ends off with Whistler which is such a good trail. And then you're right near the trailhead too. I'll go that way next time!

Congrats on the feat! My friends and I ascended up from the south ridge via ptolemy plateau. We made it all the way up to the final slab/crux (100m from summit?) - at which point the queezy feeling hit real good and we decided to end it there. In doing more research I guess we could have bypassed the crux part to the left with some downclimbing. Oh well, next time! I bet you could easily have made it past that point.
