Hi,

generally straightforward routes, great peak & lovely area.

go in, up & out in a weather window (2-3 days) so you can travel light.

sandshoes for the approach & stash them after you cross the river & start upwards.

minimal alpine kit - axes, crampons, light rope, glacier travel kit (eg one stake & one screw each). maybe a couple of pieces of rock pro (slings, 2-4 nuts, 1-2 med-sml cams; mostly scrambling; sometimes exposed); low-moderate angle snow (sometimes with high consequence runouts).

These routes were opened in the long axe and rope around the waist era and it is probably best to climb them with this in mind (& in good conditions), but you could still get killed if you fell over (or get knocked).

have fun
