Trip notes
From the club member's GPS log of the trip (30 April 2006), lightly edited, with people's names removed. Conditions may have changed since.
Straightforward mostly. The ridge is a bit narrow in places between Pt 1778 and Mt Bealey. Great scree run down into Rough Creek. Rough Creek was rough, especially in the upper reaches. Mostly stick fairly near the creek: there was usually a way around the waterfalls. CTC trip.
