Itinerary description
Waterfall creek carpark to ballow peak and out minnages ridge. Note elevation pick up is way off for some reason.
Notable points of difficulty are between monserrat and the saddle of focal peak.
After double peak there is a tricky cliff break to descend where a 20 metre rope will be helpful. Again on the way to ballow there is a thick patch of weed up to your neck on steep terrain I had to push through.
From ballow all the way to the bottom of minnages ridge is very challenging with multiple patches of Gympie Gympie and thick vine, hiking poles, long pants and gaiters I would consider must haves for this and a pair of secateurs would have also been great.
On reaching the creek it is 18km back to the car if no shuffle has been arranged
