| Summitted in winter conditions. The final ascent involved steep snow gullies rather than scrambling over boulders. Traction aides (microspikes or crampons) are a must at this time of year, and an ice axe would be wise for self arrest. Leaving your pack behind is poor advice in this kind of environment - a PLB, first aid kit or water/windproof layers are not much use to you back at the hut if you have an accident or conditions change quickly (as they easily can in this area). | ||||

| Solo trip up both peaks, 4.25 hours. Keep your wits about you between the 2 peaks - on the return I lost the track and only realised when I started dropping down into very steep terrain. 10 nervous minutes later of exploration backwards and forward and I happened upon the track again... phew. Also be alert for snakes - I chanced upon a red-bellied black snake in the cane/lantana section. Gaiters are a good idea for this track. | ||||
