Trip notes
From the club member's GPS log of the trip (16–17 November 2007), lightly edited, with people's names removed. Conditions may have changed since.
Straightforward, but a bit slow on the traverse from the low to the high peak (about 1¼ hours) because of blocky travel. Traverse the scree shelf under the summit to gain easier ground higher up. The track is split, but it took 6½ hours in snow conditions.
