Details: Using the club’s gate key, we can drive logging roads to within a km of the Castlecrag trail. This gives us easy access over Frink & Albert Edward onto the Augurpoint route to beautiful Ruth Masters lake, Augurpoint Mtn, Syd Watts peak etc. Even more beautiful is that we don’t need to descend to Buttle Lake or arrange second vehicles. Instead we return via the Hope Lake cirque and the north side of Mt Frink. Some parts of the route may be uncertain but hey – there’s always a way out.
Rating is C3. Each day is 7-10 km with 300-600m elevation gain/loss. One day will be backpack free. Water may be scarce, and I may be slow! Our permit only allows 2 vehicles so attendance is limited, plus there are some rough spots on the road so we’ll need 4wd.
