Very enjoyable half-day outing: no approach, no bushwhacking, instant good views, lots of potential scrambling, good ridgewalking.
The brutal wind with gusts of up to 120 km/h added extra challenge. I was knocked off my feet a couple times and tried to stay below exposed ridges. Fortunately, the wind subsided between the south and north summit so I was able to enjoy a lovely ridgewalk. The wind picked up again when I was descending the summit so I had to traverse below the pinnacles on some icy slabs, which required a great deal of caution. The rest was easy.
