Got up Tyndall and Giekie on the first day then tried to get out to Sedgwick on the second day from a camp at Lake Tydall. After 4 hours I was still about an hour from the base of Sedgwick so I gave it away. The forecasted cold front arrived just as I got back to my tent then proceeded to blow a gale and snow, all night, bent a tent pole!.
I was very glad I had set a turn around time in my mind and stuck to it. The range was cloaked in thick cloud and it would have been a very slow navigation back through the scrub bands with about 20 meters visibility.
I think my route select through the tricky bits of scrub was a bit poor on the way out as I cut 1/2 hour on the return. It could be done in a day but Bill Wilkinson's 6 hour return is a bit optimistic.
