Trip notes
From the club member's GPS log of the trip (29 March 2014), lightly edited, with people's names removed. Conditions may have changed since.
A very nice ascent on the Sudden Valley side. The traverse under Pt 1653 is a bit messy: the scree is very loose and quite steep, so keep up near the bluffs where possible. The last bit of the bush descent is a bit messy, with some lawyer mixed in with the regrowth.
