Trip notes

From the club member's GPS log of the trip (6 October 2006), lightly edited, with people's names removed. Conditions may have changed since.

Party of 2. We had intended to climb Mt Paske but gave it a miss in cold conditions with fresh snow. The weather turned bad later on the second day anyway. With care it should be possible to get around the lake dry-footed.
