cheers Johnny - good to know and note for the future

Thanks guys, try if you can to save this one for a fine day and may i suggest after traversing the ridge to about turn and retrace your steps back along the ridge. This can only enhance the walk and probably add no more than 1 hour onto the walk, that's how i plan to do it when i return.

Love this mountain; and any day spent on it with weather like this is a day you'll remember forever
Stunning pics...
The slopes seem to be recovering from the fire pretty well...

Fab report and pics and fresh in my mind from June this year
Didnt like the descent either but worth the effort on a clear day
