Climbing Routes on Mitre

Been trying to figure out where the climbing routes go on Mitre. For the standard route, the MCSA RD starts off:

The route starts on the west side of the huge north ridge of the Mitre. The trick is to find the right gully!

No kidding!

In the pic below I would say the "huge north ridge" is the left hand skyline of Mitre, which would mean the Standard Route is visible, or at least starts from this angle. My guess at where the approach gully is has been marked in red.

Follow this gully all the way up to where it seems to end in rock wall with two large cracks. The one on the left is a difficult chimney that goes nowhere. The one on the right leads up to a tiny knife-edge nek with a good peg. The Ntonjelane Needle is visible just beyond this nek.

I think I can see where the two cracks are. The dead-end one is the one on the gendarme and the correct one is the dark one, the knife-edge neck being indicated by the arrow. The Ntonjelana Needle could indeed be visible from there (it is the pinnacle in the background, to the left).

From there my impression is that the route flips over slightly to the other side, but more or less follows the direction of the left-hand skyline to the lower summit cone which is described in the RD.

Has anyone climbed the Mitre and can anyone confirm if I'm on the right track here?

Hi brio, my impression is that there is a knife-edge neck rather than ridge. This is what my arrow is pointing to. Shortly after the neck the Ntonjelana Needle becomes visible, thats a clue. From this angle that leaves 2 possible places, the other being the smaller notch and gendarme, to the right and slightly higher than the bigger one. In the possibility of the smaller notch being the correct neck, where would the left-hand chimney "that goes nowhere" be?\

The crack has to be ascended to reach the neck, and from there facing the Mitre the climb goes towards the left across an exposed section (thus my impression that the route flips over to the other side which is not visible in the picture).

The art of interpreting route guides continues...
