 | 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" |
