"Dis-abled by the snow at the top. It was difficult to find safe passage towards the rocky summit with deep pockets of snow and cairns difficult to find, although the trig was in sight in the distance. We'll try again in warmer weather when the snow has all melted.
The road into the start of the hike on West Picton Spur 1.2 is in rough condition and should only be driven by confident 4WD'ers. The rest can park at the start of the spur road and hike the shortish distance up to the start which is marked by a cairn and tape beyond the clearing for a carpark. There are 5 creek crossings before the ascent through the slippery, dark forest starts in earnest. The vegetation stays very dense until the alpine boulders are reached, where cushion plants thrive and the views really open up.
We did plenty of trail clearing along the way for whoever comes next." — FinniganPeakbagger • Aug 27, 2021
