Victoria - Huber traverse

28.3km with 2,300m gain in 17 hours car-to-car

Victoria North Peak
except for a short glacier crossing, very straight-forward moderate to difficult scramble. Not sure why it's marked as 5.3.

Mt Victoria
North to South (main) peak traverse, heinous and very loose 1.3km, spent 3:40hrs to get it down. Did two rappels and the rest was mainly difficult scramble with complex route finding on unstable terrain.

Mt Huber
Scrambled down the first two rap stations and did the last rappel due to ice and snow in the lower gully. Had to do a bergschrund crossing before getting to the glacier. Huber north face was snowy and stable. Exit via Huber ledges requires some easy to moderate route finding but no rope needed.


My initial estimate was about 15 hours (5 to Vic North, 5 on the ridge and 5 to descend with tagging Huber). Didn't realize that the exit will take longer. A bus shuttle would definitely help.
