Mt Barney for the casual Hiker?
Posted: Mon 13 Mar, 2017 10:00 pm
I am new here and been reading up the routes for Mt Barney and been a bit terrified that all the tracks leading up to it is rather dangerous! Like you got to do some steep scrambling up steep cliffs and wondering if it is casual hiker friendly? I read that if your not experience then just do the hike for Mt Mooron as that is easier and more visual for its trails then Mt Barney where you can get lost?
So can anyone please help me to determine which route is the safest up Mt barney? With out any steep scrambling? I could use a walking stick so that is not an issue with me! I also got a GPS on phone and it works outdoor does not need internet and works well in places like Binna barra. So I can track where I am going and won't get lost!
I had a look at this link and let me know if I got it correct?
Are all these routes rank the easiest to climb?
--Easiest--
South Ridge
Gwyala Peak
Egan Creek/SE Ridge
Midget Ridge/North Ridge
Barney Gorge/Rocky Creek/Barrabool Ridges
Savages/Barney Spur/Logans/Mezzanine
Moonlight Slabs/NE Ridge
Eagles Ridge
Leaning Ridges
