running 5:30:00 [3] 25.0 km (13:12 / km) +2020m 9:24 / km
shoes: Salomon Sense 6 SG #2
Lekker long mission with Angus up to the highest nearby peak we could find (1880m).
Jono, Roisin and Cam joined for the first section before chickening out because of the weather ;)
Some super slow going after the saddle section, with no paths and no cairns and just ground littered with rocks. A solid 800m climb of "rock hopping"
By the time we got to the top it had gotten rather cold and wet (probably -'ve degrees with wind chill), so just trying to keep moving.
Followed the ridge down before getting cliffed out and spending 20-30min trying to find a not completely dodgy way down. Eventually found a route and managed to get back down to the upper plateu via some more very rocky slopes. Then a bit more grassy descending to the river and back onto paths+home.
A solid day out. Even if we only covered 25km in almost 7 hours :p Really enjoying how wild these mountains are. No people, no paths. Just awesome peaks all around.
