Trip notes
From the club member's GPS log of the trip (15 March 2015), lightly edited, with people's names removed. Conditions may have changed since.
CTC trip, party of 5. Perfect weather. Straightforward route. The last bit up to Pt 1828 is a bit steep and needs some route finding. We probably could have dropped into the basin on the other side a bit sooner.
