Cradle on ice

Postby walkabout » Fri 15 Aug, 2014 11:48 am

Took advantage of the clear skies yesterday and headed to the Cradle reserve. Got as far as Marion's lookout without (just) going base over apex, as the track between Lake Lilla and Wombat Pool was very icy (I've now made the decision to get some poles). Here's some pics...

nICE :) Been some beautiful weather following the tempest. Touch of sunburn yesterday!
Almost nobody around up high though.. why is that I wonder.. a chairlift most surely? :)

Poles are good, ice cleats as well.
