Our objective was to do a weekend trip out to Mt Jagungal and back. We set off from the power Station at Munyang but had to walk a fair way up towards Whites River Hut before we could start skiing. We did enjoy some magnificent weather.

Above - After lunch at Mawsons Hut - we had to cross the Valentines River. Recent rain meant that there were no snow bridges - so we had to wade across. Here is Roger after the cool crossing.

On Sunday - the weather had changed - it was cold, windy and misty. Alex and Roger set off early and climbed a fair way up the peak before thick mist set in. Then, we packed up our camp and set off for Tin Hut via a route near the Brassy Peaks that avoided  wading across cold streams. After lunch in Tin Hut - we crossed Gungartin Pass and returned to Schlink Pass and Guthega Power Station on the Munyang River.
