Gallery of log for Mount Styx ST423

09-Nov-24
The day started off well, not rushing to leave early but just enough packing to be comfortable for the next 2 days.
I arrived at the quarry and parked the van at the start of the overgrown 4WD track as per the previous post.
Off I went at 12:50, walking and soon found the start of the track marked by tree tape and a rock cairn.
Up and up I went, having some difficulty spotting the next piece of tree tape or rock cairn. I reckong I spend 15-20% of the trip looking for the next marker!
I eventually got to the top and walked over to the trig, arrived at 14:35, taking photos then turned around and headed back to the van at 14:40.
Again, I had some trouble working out where the track went (mostly through the rock scree section).
I finally got back to the van at 15:45.
I am now calling Mr Dangles - Mountain Goat Alby, because it took me more than twice as long to get to the top than he did!
