Most of the SW Abel's outside of areas like Mt Field, Hartz, Wedge, Sprent, Anne, Frenchmans are somewhat quite challenging when compared to say their northern counterparts.
The idea you might just pop out for a family friendly day walk doesn't work so well, or at least it doesn't for my 20 or so I have left to do.

Or requires a week long bush bash... The scale goes from Drive to the summit, to spend a week scrub bashing off track, the latter I think just doesn't apply to Vol 1?
The difficulty is subjective - and subject to route selection. Experience and planning counts a lot more, you can't just open the book and decided today I'm gonna go bag the Pokana Peak.
It works for Vol 1. but as far as Vol 2. I would think too many differing opinions based on the choice of route. Also in areas that have no established tracks suggesting everyone goes the same way isn't good either.
So a bit of vagueness to protect the remote areas?
