 | Central Buttress | PVT | Karen Jackson, Jason Watson | 5 pitches of fun. Have backed up the rap anchor on the tower with new cord. |
| 16/01/2019 | Mt Scarface
 | Up bush opposite Worsley Biv -> around to the eastern basins above Minchin Stream -> to South ridge about 500m south of peak -> 500m west side of south ridge to summit. Descended same route. | PVT | Daryll Thomson

Bush is thick in places but does provide good, energetic access to the open tops. |
| 27/11/2018 | Mt Alexander

Snow on the summit was firm enough to kick steps and not sink. |

 | Avalanche Peak Track - Avalanche & Lyell Peaks - Scott's Track | Pawel Wawrzosek | Pawel Wawrzosek | Went along Avalanche Peak Track to summit, continued to Lyell Peak and back through Scott's Track. Clouds in the morning, cleared fully after 2-3 hours. Snow from bushline, first patchy, soon route fully covered with snow. Met some hikers in snickers, don't attempt without crampons and axe this time of year! |

| 28/01/2018 | Mt Franklin
 | Oats/Franklin ridge | Jacob Downie | Ross li | Nice and sunny other than a quick thunderstorm while we wear near the summit. A cave provided great shelter as we waited for it to pass. No snow on any of the ridge except a small pocket near Oates. |
| 27/01/2018 | Mt Oates
 | South ridge from Edwards hut and Williams saddle | Jacob Downie | Ross li | Hot conditions. Dirty tarns on the ridge and no other water till lake Mavis. Load up in a creek heading up to the saddle. Wonderful scramble on good rock. Options for descent to lake Mavis. We took a scree couloir between low/high peak to the West face then sidled around to a notch in the West ridge. From here there was a well used scree slope down to the lake. |
| 21/01/2018 | Cow Peak
 | New Route on buttress left of "Greet the Sacred Cow" | Gibbins-Sowman | Ben Sowman, Jasmine Gibbins, Latham Gibbins & Ben Gibbins | We climbed a new rock route on Cow Peak at the head of the Anti-Crow River. We climbed the rock buttress left of the already established route "Greet the Sacred Cow". We started at the hoof of the buttress and climbed to a notch where it becomes steeper. From there we traversed left and scrambled to the summit. The route tops out about 50 meters south of the small, unnamed peak between Cow Peak and Gizeh Col. Crux grade about 12 (2+). We named the route "Gibbins-Sowman" |
