It's a nice spot to camp though, apart from the mozzies which threatened to carry us away.The next day was perfect, and we visited Cathedral Mountain and Twin Spires, which offered a chance to see whether my nerve was still good for climbing with exposure - getting out to the detached spire required some scrambling with likely death from a fall. It was probably some of the scariest climbing I've done for years and I was pleased to find that I was no more (and no less) worried about it than I would have been 20 years ago.
2 of us then went on to Bishop's Mitre and Bishop Peak while the others headed back to camp. The plateau is a fantastic place to walk, varying between open and fairly easy and extremely scratchy, especially when you have shorts on! There are extensive views of the plateau and the mountains of the Lake St Clair - Cradle Mt NP. As has been mentioned before here, you sit on the edge of Cathedral Mountain and look down over the OT. You can also see right back along Lees Paddocks.
We packed up and headed out to the cars, getting out at about 6 after a long but fantastic day. The next day it rained again!
