After an ascent of Lyall Mountain. We descended from the grassy part of the ridge south, followed a lovely stream up to the col / meadow below the route up Beehive. Where the wind was awful. Up the scree with one tiny, mainly easy rockband, and one short but unpleasant slabby section to the ridge. Which is followed to the twin summits. Down the goat trail around the mountain to the Soda Creek trail. Which is followed out to the Old Man River. Back across (wading) and back to the car down the road.
