Baron Pass vs Mt Anne?

Fri 12 Dec, 2014 7:03 pm

Just wondering how those who know would rate the haul up to the Shelf Camp on Mt Anne against getting up Barron Pass?
Which one of the two would have to be the most demanding given identical weather conditions and pack weights ?

I would say that the haul to shelf camp is much easier, as it is much shorter. It is probably only 2-3 hours to the top of Mt Eliza, then flat across to the turn off. Barron Pass requires at least 5 hours of walking just to get to the base of it, and is at least another 90 minutes to the top with full packs, and another 90 minutes to anywhere where you could camp.
