Trip notes
From the club member's GPS log of the trip (15 December 2002), lightly edited, with people's names removed. Conditions may have changed since.
Solo trip. The weather was better than forecast, just a bit windy in places, with no snow to speak of. The route is fairly intricate but straightforward for the last 500 m north-east of The Gap.
