Day 8 -
I think it may have rained overnight - but anyway, it soon
cleared up as we started climbing up Lucifer Ridge to the Western
Arthur Range. We continued to Promontory Lake to camp.

Day 10
- After some misty weather - it cleared up to a perfect day
as we continued on the traverse to camp on the ridge between Mt Orion
and Mt Sirius. After and early dinner, we climbed Mt Sirius for a
lengthy sunset interlude which was sensational - with mist swirling
around the peaks.

Day 11
- A funny sort of sunrise - with several levels of mist and
cloud. Then we headed off to complete the rest of the range - in
approaching bad weather. Rain hit us near Mt Hesperus - and we had to
put on our parkas for the first time of the trip as we quickly
descended Moraine A. We the walked via Junction Creek to Huon Camp
near Scotts Peak Dam
