About as easy as it gets for a winter ascent of these two peaks. Reasonably solid crust that our party of three managed to break through often. Snowmobile traffic in the col between the two peaks. WC canister was frozen shut, but bottle on NKD was easy enough to open. 4:08 round trip for both peaks.
