Nope - but have noticed it on the map and thought "Hmmm..."
Would be interested to hear how you go!

Have looked at this as part of a circuit walk and decided the best approach would be from near the Mt Mawson Northern summit - it was pretty cliffy from where I was at the true Southern summit.

Yes, a very long time ago so I'm afraid I can't help much but I think we came up from Lake Belcher way and continued up towards the pass through the Rodway Range.

Yes been there, nothing special, mostly rocky, exposed, nice views, not great camping, did as a round trip from Wombat moor - Belton - Rodway etc

Did it yesterday.
Came in from the top. Pretty much scrambled down the scree.made for a slow but lovely days walking . The tarn itself was very disappointing , but views were cloudy and atmospheric. Gotta love Mt Field.
Camping definitely isn't too flash.
but at least now i can tick it off.
