Description
Hi Team Details to follow....Joint with MTC....We will drive over Saturday night and camp at Mlll Flat campsite, to wait the others and have a more leisurely start, Summit is around 8 hours return. Will be grunty up no doubt. So good work out for the bod. Come up as far as you wish so long as you are happy to wait or go back down with another. I havent been up myself yet. From Mill Flat, the path continues upriver on a rough 3 km section before a relentless, steep climb (over 1,000m elevation gain) through beech forest and alpine scrub to Fishtail Hut, with an optional scree scramble to the summit.
UPDATE
Aim to meet the Wairau team at 0820 at Mill Flat Camp Area, we will have camped. Takes 3-4 hours to summit depending on group. Go from saddle prior to hut straight up, those not keen can go up from behind the hut. Allow same time for return. Once we cross Fishtail Stream its all up.
HI Team
I will postpone this trip to summer if there is interest and jpin Mike up Angelus this weekend. Happy Tramping.
