Re: Mount Barney routes

Logan's ridge is easier and less exposed than I had been led to believe (did it the other weekend). There are a few false tracks that can slow you down finding the route in places but if you knew the route, were reasonably fit and had a light pack - up and back down SE or peasants would not be too bad in a day. I wouldn't rate Logan's as much harder or more exposed than SE if you are half comfortable with scrambling on rock.
IMO Eagles remains the stand-out Barney route - not necessarily hard again in terms of scrambling skills but longer, more exposed and better / more consistent views. Up Eagles and down in a day i have never attempted. It would be good prep for Federation I expect.
