OT Side trips difficulty
Posted: Tue 24 Sep, 2019 5:01 pm
Hi,
I've done a bit of a search before posting, but haven't quite found what I'm looking for, so apologies if this post is redundant.
I'm going to walk the Overland in early November with my 9 year old son.
He's pretty fit, about 1.5m tall, and I'm just wondering how hard side trips up Cradle Mountain, Mt. Ossa, Mt. Oakleigh or Pelion East would be for a kid and his ahem, 'well proportioned' dad.
If the weather's crap, I won't even try going off the track and up a steep hill, but we might luck out while there.
I guess my main concern is exposure and how difficult the boulder scrambling is.
Thanks,
Brian.
