Winter 2021 : A visit to Kosciuszko NP just before the road closed for the season.
Walking conditions : Frozen surfaces of all kinds, frozen track walking, snowfield crossings and paths of ice. Glad I brought the crampons.
Weather : First walk, clear and sunny - Second walk, high winds and cloud on the tops - Third walk, a blizzard.
Notes : Thinking to give the snow gear an airing before co-vid closed the country down again, I managed three walks on the frozen tops. The first was to check the snow conditions, the second along the Main range track, and the third was a visit to Mt Kosciuszko summit in bad weather. I nearly got frostbite filming this, as cameras are hard to operate in gloves. Both cameras performed admirably in the cold, even when covered in frost and rime. I can't say the same for my fingers.
Sorry about the typos : MerritTs creek - YesteRday...
