Geryon topo

This is from a little while ago, but it somehow went missing...

Roger Parkyn has done a nice new detailed topo of the Geryon Traverse.
Check it out: Cradle Mountain - Lake St Clair.

Star Factory guide added

Jake has whipped up a guide and topos for the star factory.
Check it out: The Star Factory.

Gerry Narkowicz and Nick Hancock have begun work on a new Freycinet guide. We have the info from the CCT guide from 1995, plus Nick's new routes in recent years. Any other route information would be gladly received. Email your contributions and suggestions to gerry.narkowicz@bigpond.com A realistic time frame is 18 months to 2 years in the making. But before then, Bob and I have got to get the Ben Lomond guide out....

The contents of the current draft of the new Mt Wellington guide are now available on this site, see
kunanyi - Mt Wellington Guide .
The online guide contains the full content of the printed version of the guide, in terms of climb descriptions and topos. The printed version will be generated from this content. You are free to print out the online version for your own uses, however the more convenient hardcopy printed version is not too far away.

The current state of the guide is the product of many months of work by Tony McKenny, Al Adams, Dave Humphries, Jon Nermut, and a host of other contributors. Many thanks to all involved in the project so far, it is great that we are starting to see the products of our labour.

The current status of the guide is draft. We are working towards version 1.0 of the printed guide being available around August. At this stage we are seeking objective feedback and comments, and any new routes that are missing. Subjective comments on grading and stars will be taken on board, but not necessarily acted on, at the discretion of the editors. We are also still taking photo submissions for the printed guide. See the Feedback page for how to get information to the editors, or add a comment to this post.
