It's a ridge route. If you've done any flying of that sort, it'll make
sense. If you haven't... look at the the topo and do the thought

Very little, and that was on steeper, more defined ridges - the ridge
north of Omarama and on the Pennines under Cross Fell. I take your point
about marking the start of a ridge climb.

FWIW GoogleEarth can give rather good topographic views if you move off a
bit (1km or so) and then zoom right in, almost to the point where it
wants to switch to streetview. Then moving your viewpoint around lets you
easily pick out high points, ridgelines, etc.
