"Wilsons Peak was straightforward and has been comprehensively described by other trip reports.
The steep part at Mt Clunie from around 820m to 980m elevation was a nightmare of native raspberry vine thickets and various other spikey plants interspersed with gympie gympie and stinging nettle, all on loose volcanic soil that made footing slippery.
