Memorial SW Peak of Outpost
Fun short day out, excellent travel on glacier helped. Two hours from hut to ice tongue, 2 more to the summit of Memorial (SW Outpost). Two hours back down to the hut - fast day under excellent conditions.
The tricky part is gaining the ice tongue and coming off it. The ridge on Memorial was aesthetic 4th class quartzite with little steps. Didn't climb NW peak due to deteriorating weather.
