Despite the joys of 4th class on the NW ridge, the gully has plenty of safe 3rd class scrambling if you stay on the rock to the right. However beyond the top of the gully the "climber's trail" is nothing but loose dirt and rock on steep slopes. Far better to head West from the gully top, on open slabs of Class 2+ scrambling, until you reach the ridge and continue to the summit on Class 2 terrain.
