Description

With a morning window of opportunity, returned wit GD to scene of yesterday`s retreat.
Seeing to the summit allayed fears of anything too technical.
Beyond the second step there was an easier section of ridge leading to one final difficulty which I climbed and belayed GD up using a hasty bucket seat belay.
From the first summit we pushed on. At the second we took a bearing and descended into the 750 saddle. From here we continued, climbed to a wonderful third summit.
Descended back to 750 saddle and down the fall line to the forestry.
Got utterly soaked on the walk back around. Morale nonetheless high!

Includes all major peaks above 600m.
