is that the colloseum track at medlow bath?

by **Tyreless** » Fri 22 Sep, 2017 6:19 am

Perhaps it is the stairs onto Orphan Rock (not that I've ever been there (wink)).

by **jonnosan** » Fri 22 Sep, 2017 7:44 am

oh yeah tyreless is right I reckon... https://youtu.be/AiIv2P1pYOY?t=339

by **ribuck** » Sat 23 Sep, 2017 3:58 am

Tyreless has it right! And thanks jonnosan for the link to that most informative video.

[edit: I should perhaps caution that this is not the crux of the ascent.]

NSW...

by **ribuck** » Sat 23 Sep, 2017 4:32 pm

Great photo. Is this the north wall of the Grose, between Yileen Gully and Pierces Creek?

by **Tyreless** » Sat 23 Sep, 2017 5:07 pm

Very close but not quite right.

by **crollsurf** » Sat 23 Sep, 2017 9:54 pm

I'll have a stab in the dark and say Anvil Rock. Need to pay more attention to the various walls in the Blue Mtn's to stand a chance at this game

Walls Lookout. Wongarra Hill is on the left in the middle distance.

Really close again. You may be able to see Walls Lookout on the left.

Having visited just above here I probably should have known this straight off. I was also down in the valley for 2 nights last weekend and walked in via Pierces Pass :roll:

. I think the party below is on the edge of Hungerfords Gully below Rigby Hill. Ribuck has done all the hard work on this and can go next if I'm correct.

by **Tyreless** » Sun 24 Sep, 2017 7:48 pm

That's exactly right, John. So it's over to ribuck.

by **ribuck** » Mon 25 Sep, 2017 7:37 am

It doesn't seem right that I submitted two wrong guesses and get the next turn, while johnw submitted one correct guess and doesn't! Anyway, thanks John and Tyreless.

Here's another photo in a similar vein to my previous one. This is in a National Park in NSW:

that's the water board ladders off narrowneck. is that recent? I was last past there about 2 months ago and didn't see the wooden section at the bottom of your photo

by **ribuck** » Mon 25 Sep, 2017 5:38 pm

That's it, jonnosan.

The photo is from around 2005. I was last there a couple of years ago and there was only a thin knotted rope at the bottom, which I didn't manage to climb.

by **jonnosan** » Mon 25 Sep, 2017 6:46 pm

Thanks ribuck

I never saw that wooden construction, I got up the rope part once about 3 years ago and then through the metal section but got beaten by the rope assisted scramble right at the top.

I'm really struggling for pix here - where in NSW was I when I took this incompetent selfie?

Sorry for butting into this thread but I have to ask. Did your walk include a visit to Mt Jellore?

by **Lophophaps** » Mon 25 Sep, 2017 10:40 pm

It may be either Jagungal or Kosciuszko. But not both.

by **peregrinator** » Mon 25 Sep, 2017 10:58 pm

It's either Jagungal with that stupid block of whatever it is, or somewhere close to a laundromat. That shirt looks so much cleaner than any that I wear in the bush.

by **eggs** » Mon 25 Sep, 2017 11:01 pm

Huh? Why wouldn't it be from Townsend looking at Kosci?

Huh? Why wouldn't it, indeed? I bow to your extensive knowledge, eggs. I have yet to investigate Kkoschiischiooscko and environs.

by **jonnosan** » Mon 25 Sep, 2017 11:33 pm

it is indeed Mt Townsend. Not sure if I was looking at Kosci or not.

by **eggs** » Tue 26 Sep, 2017 12:16 am

yes - that is Kosci.. trust me.

next - still in NSW

by **johnw** » Tue 26 Sep, 2017 1:55 am

eggs you are on the NE bank of Blue Lake Creek, maybe just about to head up the Crummer Spur on your right to Little Twynam? One of my favourite hill climbs around there.

by **eggs** » Tue 26 Sep, 2017 8:12 am

Yes. Blue Lake is a lovely place.
And I did indeed head up onto Little Twynam

Thanks eggs, yes it is. Looking forward to my next visit after Christmas. Sorry for the slow reply, had to have minor surgery yesterday which made the day a little chaotic.

Still NSW, where are my family members wandering to:

by **jonnosan** » Wed 27 Sep, 2017 1:23 pm

is that the dead horse gap track?

by **johnw** » Wed 27 Sep, 2017 3:40 pm

Not Dead Horse Gap track jonnosan, this is a much shorter walk. There's probably around 25km between here and DHG as the crow flies.

by **jonnosan** » Wed 27 Sep, 2017 5:20 pm

porcupine rocks walk?

by **johnw** » Wed 27 Sep, 2017 9:51 pm

No, but you're very close. The destination is a feature at the bottom of the shallow valley ahead of us.
