This is a last minute Plan C destination change for a small team already prepared for a long multi-day traverse plus climbing multiple peaks. This is not the "scramble" version of the traverse and with up to 12 peaks and 2 mid-5th class climbs in the traverse its above the level of a basic climb. Not taking on any other people at the last minute.
