Mt Barff, 27-28 November 2010

Outrageously beautiful, but extremely hot trip to our favourite valley. Although there was no freeze overnight, we made it to the summit via the South East Ridge in 4 h from the hut and back down the cruxy section five minutes before it was turned into mush by the sun. Total return from the hut: 6.5 h. Sorry DOC for lighting a fire at the hut, but we unintentionally packed light :-)
Party: Jaz Morris, Mike Cook, Nina Dickerhof
