Yeah, it was extremely frustrating, especially getting soaked trying to cross Falls Rivulet.
Not from falling in, just from the massive blast of spray one gust picked up. Finally gave up on Snowy Sth, got changed into camp thermals, and walked back out.

Precipitous Bluff from Lake Oenone on the Bathurst Harbor!

Just a bit of silliness. We've come a long way from the first post in this thread in terms of more obscure, also wonderful places. :D

We may as well stick with trees. Where is this beauty?

Just to revisit the jovial - the highest point to be seen is not Cradle Mt.
Its actually Smithies Peak.
Normal programming resumes.

But wait - there's more..

Jerusalem is at least a day away by the shortest route and at least a day and a half the way I went.
