Class 3 terrain ("upper moderate scramble") via the main avalanche gully. Minimal scrambling but the terrain is very steep, confidence on steep slabs required.
We cycled 5.6km instead of 6.1km suggested by Kane until red flagging on a tree. We crossed Redearth Creek on a tree log. This is a far better route than cycling all way to the campground.
