Trip notes
From the club member's GPS log of the trip (25 May 2003), lightly edited, with people's names removed. Conditions may have changed since.
Party of 4. The first part of the ascent route is a bit scrubby. The bush section is easy, open bush. The final descent into Broad Stream is down a great scree run. Found a good marked track from the bushline out to the flats near the road.
