Circuit up from Avoca homestead to Otarama peak via bold hill, down Lansdowne spur. Flow was moderately high and swift down the broken river so instead of travel back through valley, crossed river, climbed terrace and followed farm track back to Avoca homestead.
Had intended to summit back peak too, but low on time and fatigued from plugging steps in up to 40cm of fresh powder in places. Leave it for next time doing a full traverse of torlesse range.
