Trip notes
From the club member's GPS log of the trip (25 December 2015), lightly edited, with people's names removed. Conditions may have changed since.
The faces above Lake Hope are easier than they look, and either route is straightforward. The descent route is probably more direct. There is an impressive-looking steep bit above the 2200 m contour, but a series of ledges leads through it quite easily. The summit area was steeper than I remembered.
