My friend and I will be heading to Mt Bogong (1986m) this weekend. It's the highest mountain in Victoria which I last visited in winter back in 2005. It's going to be tough walking 6-7 hours uphill, half of which will be in a bit of snow. But this will be a good test of my fitness three weeks before the big Overland Track in Tasmania.
Planning to test the brand new 4-season Thermarest and the new ice axe. Weather permitting, camp will be made at the base of the final climb to the summit plateau. There's an ambitious plan to pitch the tents on the very exposed summit but that will be disastrous if weather conditions suddenly change for the worse.
Hope it's going to be a fun trip!
