Description
Cancelled due to bad weather. New proposed date will follow.
Sunday morning, an attempt to the summit of Mt Shrimpton, before heading back down to the car.
Reasonable fitness is required, as we will be climbing >1400m elevation on Saturday.
An alternative route, depending on group size and wishes, is to head up from Cameron Flat along the Cameron track, then aim for the ridge and find a nice camp spot. Next day follow the ridge to Mt Shrimtpon, and drop down to the Shrimpton track. This would make for 2 slightly longer and harder days.
Getting There
Travel by car Friday evening to Cameron Flat campsite, carpooling, sunday drive back home.What to Expect
Two big days with heavy pack and a lot of elevation. Exposed scrambling to the top. Hopefully some great views of surrounding areas, possibly some laughter.Possible Hazards
Rockfall - helmet required
Fall hazard - ability to move safely over rough ground
Bad weather
Gear
Overnight gear (tent, sleeping bag, stove etc), helmet, snacks.
At this point we don't expect any crampons or ice axes will be needed, but weather conditions closer to the time might confirm that.
