Great report & pics, appreciate the effort that went into it :clap:


I await some very entertaining reports then :D . It's a very fine place indeed, that still feels splendidly isolated in spite of the ease of access via tracks.

Did this walk over 2 days with a camp overnight.
I followed Alteknacher‘s GPX route with the exception of going for the various tops if they weren’t on the direct route.
Mileage and altitude gain are pretty accurate as I recorded very similar.

Thanks for the route details Alteknacher, couldn’t have done it without it.

Absolutely delighted if my report was of some use to you. It's a wonderful part of the world!

PS not sure what you mean when you say that you went for the various tops if they weren't on the direct route - I guess I must have missed some??
