Good to see you keeping MT on her toes but.......a gondola :shock:
Did a similar route a couple of years back but used the mountain bike track for the ascent instead (which is OK provided you head off very early before they start :crazy: ) - cheers :)

Great report. Glad the mist cleared for the arête for you. As for the umbrella - lucky she wasn't blown away!
