Mt Murchison (in poor weather)
Sat 28 Feb, 2009 10:14 pm
These shots are from November 08. I climbed Mt Murchison, but all I got to see was the inside of a few clouds. I was still able to get a few interesting shots of the snow, rocks and mist. Eggs' post shows what its like in good weather!
- Small lake visible early on in the climb. The clouds arrived shortly after.

- A section of track, perhaps the cloud makes it easier.

Even without a view this was an enjoyable walk. I'm definitely keen to head back in good weather one day.

And I thought it was always sunny on the west coast 
Looks like that snow & ice covered tree sums up your day.

I used to live in rosbery and would wake up every day and look at that mountain. I always found it strange that none of the locals ever climbed it. I eventually persuaded my next door neighbor and some mainlander friends to hike up there with me. I remember looking at the lakes inside it and thinking of lost worlds never seen before by man. Pretty silly but it really has a sense of mystery about it.

Nice shots wello. 
Last time I went up (end of last year too) the weather wasn't too crash hot. The cloud lifted just high enough for some views. It was a bit of a disappointment really, from what I'm told the view is awesome on a clear day. Defiantly heading back again some time.
