It is an extreme success, yes. :) Triumph does not get cancelled, just as Despair doesn't, so the Failures only cancel the Success (as a Triumph also counts as a Success in itself), the triumphant result remains.
Edit: to quote the book: "The Triumph symbol indicates a significant boon or beneficial outcome. Each Triumph symbol provides two effects: 1, each Triumph symbol also counts as one success, ...,. This means that the success generated by a Triumph symbol could he cancelled by a Failure symbol generated by the same skill check.
2, you can spend a Triumph symbol to trigger incredibly potent effects. You could think of this as a "super advantage", ...,. Two common uses include triggering a Critical Injury upon a successful attack and activating a weapon's special quality.
...
You gain both effects with each Triumph symbol, so you don't have to choose between the Success and the special-effect trigger. Although the Success aspect can be cancelled by a Failure symbol, the second aspect of the Triumph symbol cannot be cancelled."
