An afternoon summit which proved much harder, colder and gustier than expected. The gusts approaching the peak were blowing us off trail at times and my gloves were not up to the battering from the relentless drizzle. In parts the trails had become waterfalls so dry feet were not on the menu either. We were pleased to pass by the great and powerful Bob Brown en route and spot two lyrebirds on the way back down the mountain.
