Having done this same walk to Crater Bluff on a moonless night and enjoyed the experience, and in contrast to Neil's view, please dont clear/enhance/cairn tracks up there. Personally I find the ambiguity adds to the adventure....When people take varying routes through the terrain the impact is dispersed and the sense of remoteness and connection with the landscape is enhanced (for some).
