Clear winter day. Icy up top.
Ascended via Mt Storm, travelled along ridge to pt 1668, along to chest peak. Decended via east spur, tried to follow track marked on topo map in dark but mostly overgrown, ended up bush bashing. 4-5 km of whistler river was gorged, necessitating 50+ knee deep crossings in icy water. Avoid in anything but low flow.
Long day.

I've thought about trying to day trip Chest Peak from Blackhill Hut. (I've been up Black Hill) Don't envy your icy river crossings! Bit of an epic trip.

That was my original plan, but decided on Mt Pember station route to keep it as a day trip. Reckoned about 4-5 hrs from black hill hut to chest peak one way, depending on snow conditions.
