Hi Guys
Just find we can discuss here because I am using this website the first time. It is reported raining on Saturday. Is the Ladder still doable? Just wondering if there is plan B? Is there any chance that we will see snow on the top?

Hi Guys

A wonderful trip today. Glad to see all of you have gone up that rocky section when I drove back. Thank you for your support and guidance. To be honest, The last section is a bit challenging for me.

Thank you, Lawrence. You are a great trip leader.

Great trip everyone - thanks for a really fun day out and especially to Lawrence for organising it. Nice photos & video too - much appreciated and if there are any more, keep them coming. Great job on the video.

Good job I didn't need to winch up that last bit - my electrical problem turned out to be a dead alternator so the battery drained on the trip home. No lights, wipers, ABS, radio etc. Lucky it's a diesel so at least the engine stayed on!

Thanks again everyone!
