I had wanted to climb Mt. Ward but after arriving decided it was probably a bad idea.  The track drops at least 300 meters in the valley just between these two mountains and then is at least another 300 higher than Mt. Memphis.  It looks viable to climb it up this ridge, but once I viewed it in profile from the southern part of Mt. Memphis, I decided it was probably a bad idea to do this alone as it's steeper than it first looks...as it often is.  Maybe I'll figure out another way up next time, but caution ruled the day.  There is always something else that you can do, one has to decide what is prudent.
