Grinder - Sum Up


Well done to David, Melinda, Skye, Yvonne and Stephen who no doubt joined a very small group of people who have walked Carlons to Mt Guouogang and return as a DAY WALK.

Excellent effort - not the least of which was crawling out of nice warm sleeping bags at 3:30 to brave near zero degree conditions. Ugh!!!

The image to the right is the altitude plot for the first half of the trip. No wonder that b.. fire trail was hard work at the end late last night - it is nearly 200m of vertical.

Our timings are below - I'll email them in more detail later to you.
