Itinerary description

Marked Difficult when done as an overnighter, with a lot of large elevation changes and minimal flat easy-walking sections.

Perfect weather with incredible views as you rise above and duck beneath the treeline. Hardly saw a soul, with a welcome stillness all around. Mountain streams still flowing, though that at Cleve Cole Memorial Hut barely a trickle, which massively aided in keeping pack weight down. Camped at Ropers Hut with tent fly frosted over in the morning.

Big River crossing an ankle-deep doddle at the base of Timms Spur, which gave confidence of its downstream crossing at T Spur base being manageable. Sure enough it was only a knee-deep affair, and with the fixed chain installed it was crossed without worry, even as a soloist.

Highly recommended circuit which takes in the ascent of Victoria's highest peak, numerous quaint high country huts, picturesque snow gum meadows, and 360 degree alpine vistas.
