| 28/07/2019 | Mt Temple
 | Carter Gough Gully | PVT | J Morris, T de Wilde | Good firm snow to 1700m with variable snice and unconsolidated rubbish above. Large pinwheels in Downhill Basin with prior warm event |
| 30/06/2019 | Mt Alexander
 | Low peak from Camp Creek | Ben | Just me | Icy snow from around 1500m. Left the car park at 11am and made it to the low peak in 1 hour 50 min running. Crazy how much more ground you can cover without a pack! |
| 18/06/2019 | Mt Rolleston - Low Peak
 | Crow Face | PVT | Keeley Rhynd | Solid conditions centre left of Face. Ice flow and leads on the right haven’t touched down yet. Descent down Rome ridge which is firm on the crest with pockets of shallow wind blown under a thin crust on the northern side. |
| 05/05/2019 | Mt O'Malley
 | Via 1844 on Mt Aicken Track | PVT | Jon Colbert | Minimal snow cover, and only in southerly aspects. |
| 13/04/2019 | Mt Barron
 | Via Mt Barron track | PVT | Robert, Thomas, Tim, Vincent | |
| 06/04/2019 | Mt Binser
 | Via binser saddle | Robert, Geoff, Thomas | 3 | Straight forward trip, follow the doc track past the saddle until you reach the creek to your right, followed up the creek for about 500m, then gained the ridge on the right following a deer trail. From there route finding is straight forward. Small cornices have formed at the ridge, about 20cms of snow from the treeline, knee deep in the ridge |
| 25/01/2019 | Mt Temple
| 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
Stuart Columbus | Typical summer conditions of the area in perfect weather.
Bush is thick in places but does provide good, energetic access to the open tops. |
| 27/11/2018 | Mt Alexander
| Camp Creek Route | PVT | Jon Colbert | A few chamois on the tops.
Snow on the summit was firm enough to kick steps and not sink. |
| 29/09/2018 | Mt Murchison
 | White Glacier | PVT | Wayne Robinson, Mike Jennings, Phil Williams | 2am start from Barker Hut with near perfect firm snow all the way via White Glacier to a gusty summit at sunrise |
| 26/08/2018 | Mt Temple
| Last Crusade | PVT | Owain and Dan | Snow OK. Not much gear - recommend knife blades. |
| 24/08/2018 | Mt Bealey
 | From Mt Bealey Track | PVT | Colin Kinnison
Jason Watson | Ski descent back to track. Not enough snow to descend into Rough Ck. Excellent skiing with a good snow pack. |
| 15/07/2018 | Mt Temple
| Gully left of Left Buttress (possibly The Last Crusade) | PVT | Jamie Macalister, Kevin Peng, Camille Rousset | Deep powder on easier slopes but firm (although sometimes thin) alpine ice on steeper sections. Overcast day with some warming/melting in the afternoon but all in all, good day out. |
| 21/06/2018 | Lyell Peak
 | 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! |
| 11/03/2018 | Mt Bealey
| From Rough Creek, Bealey, Lyell, Avalanche circuit | PVT | Mark Buckley | Rock scramble |
