Possibly. I climbed Out and Beyond on 12 March, 2005. Temperature in Coona was about 32 degrees. I melted...

The problem with Bluff Mountain is that it cops full sun until mid-afternoon, and there's nowhere to hide. Pick a cloudy day or take a sun umbrella (I'm serious). And lots of water.

And take a rain coat for when a storm rolls in over the top. it can go from 30+ to hypothermic quick, wait I believe there is an insitu pile jacket at the base of Pheonix.
