3 Peaks Time Schedule

Hi Guys,

Further to Stephen's post.

The basic recipe for walking times looks like this (Assumes Kat to Coxs via Yellow Dog in both directions). They are all based on a fast paced walk good hill strength, with a minimum of stand up rests. Add major rests periods (camps) as you see fit.

It doesn't really matter which direction the middle bit is done, the times are basically the same.

To Coxs Xing 7
Up to G or C 4.5
Down to Crk 2
Up to P 2
Down to Crk 2
Up to G or C 3
Down to Coxs Xing 3.5
Up to Kat 9

Total of 33 hrs walking with 17 hrs of that circulating in the middle. If we have a schedule to rest and leave the Coxs at first light, then we must aim for camp at Dex's (14.5hrs later, we have 13hrs of daylight, so last 1-2 hours in the dark) at the very least.

Personally, I like the 3am start, camp Paralyser, option. The only critical issue is to get off Naroo Buttress in daylight (by 6pm).

cheers
