This this is to climb Mt Liverpool via Cascade Saddle.
We will walk into Cascade Saddle on the Saturday and camp by cascade stream where there is a toilet. Climb Liverpool on Sunday walk out on Monday.  May need to rope up for crevasse travel.
You could go a far as Plunket Dome without roping up for crevasse travel.

As for all trips in the mountains we are at the mercy of the weather.
