Trip notes

From the club member's GPS log of the trip (21 November 2004), lightly edited, with people's names removed. Conditions may have changed since.

Club trip, party of 8. A great day with a cool breeze and good views of cloud-shrouded peaks from the top. Took the first scree route down. Back at the cars at 6:05 pm. The track is truncated at the top.
