jvangermert,
You post has been nagging at the back of my mind for several months, and has inspired me to include it on my wander around the Bogong High Plains this summer.
For those of you who have indicated you may also be doing it this summer, which option are you taking to descend from the Razorback down to the West Kiewa.
I see about 6 options:
Option 1 would be to continue the Pyramid Hill Fire Trail north and around. This would be the longest option, but the gentlest and entirely on trail (apart from Dungey Gap to Pyramid Hill)
Option 2 would be to take the fire trail 2K north from Pyramid Hillm then take the spur heading NE, and descend to Dungey Trackl. This is the gentlest of the non-trail options, and about 3K shorter than option 1
Option 3 would be take the spur that heads east then north from the National Park Boundary.
Option 4 would be to take the spur that runs NE from the north peak of Feathertop. This would be the most direct, but a beast of a descent/climb - about 1000 vertical metres
Option 5 would be either of the spurs directly east from Feathertop. Apart from avoiding a little bit of backtracking, I can't see why this would be preferrable to Dimantina Spur.
Option 6 would be Dimantina Spur.
At this stage I am leaning towards options 1 or 2 out of respect for my knees. But I would be interested as to what others think.
