Trip notes

From the club member's GPS log of the trip (11 April 2015), lightly edited, with people's names removed. Conditions may have changed since.

CTC trip, party of 11. Got a bit tied up in the gully on the way up: exit it before the sides get too steep. This is just the uphill track; the downhill is nearby, taking advantage of good fast screes. Back at 5:40 pm.
