Cold on the summit at 1c and blowing a gale. Decent snow on approach also. A good day despite the weather. Went a little too directly for the summit and should have aimed for the col before ascending. Took the headwell lakes approach and returned via chester lake and elephant rocks. I'd recommend this loop as there is scree on the way to the northern valley. Elephant rocks are fun to scramble on of you have the energy left. Long day at 20km
