Trip notes
From the club member's GPS log of the trip (9 March 2003), lightly edited, with people's names removed. Conditions may have changed since.
Party of 4. This was a good way down from Red Peak and would make a better ascent route than the one we used. We were surprised by the spectacular waterfall lower down the valley, but it is easily bypassed via a vehicle track a bit up the valley.
