Seems like you walked to Pindars in a day, camped at Ooze and then walked out again - that's very good going in terms of distance, speed and elevation gain. How do you think you pulled up afterwards? Were you wiped out for a week? Or could you have done more the next day?
Did you manage Pindars no worries? From memory there's one little bit that requires a little bit of a harder than normal climb?
Obviously I'm talking good conditions: when the weather turns bad, it all gets much harder, more dangerous and less fun.
· The Mt Anne Circuit is a highly advanced multiday Grade 5 - wilderness track and is considered to be more challenging than other multi-day walks in Tasmania such as the Overland Track and Frenchmans Cap. Walkers should gain experience in other walks in Tasmania before attempting this walk.
So I submit it's not that difficult a route.
Your effort to do Pinders out and back in 2 days with an overnight however is an very awesome effort.
I have been thru the PB Loop 3 times, 1999/2000, 2013 and 2022/2023.

When you say the loop, was that continuing down to the SCT and back along the coast? I heard that the PB to SCT section is mostly just wading through the shallows of the lagoon, is that accurate/fun? Getting over to PB is definitely on my list.

Can I just ask about the wading, not something I've had to do before. How deep is the water you're walking through for the most part? Do you need to prepare for a wet pack and drybag things? Assuming you'd take boots off too?

You happily aren't one who gets bad blisters under such circumstances.wander wrote:The wet boots are not an issue later, you slowly get them dry over a couple of days wandering and wring out of socks.
