Trip notes
From the club member's GPS log of the trip (3 February 2012), lightly edited, with people's names removed. Conditions may have changed since.
Cloud and drizzle, and a fairly miserable campsite on Mt Gates. The route is fairly straightforward, with a section of steepish snow approaching Mt Gates.
