August 2020 –

On the long list of places to visit, Mt Barney had been a matter of timing (and also thinking it was further away/takes longer to get to than it actually does..!). Thankfully our friends lead by Tiger Trev were heading there so we made a weekend of it.

Lead by veteran Barneyman (and prolific Wikiloc‘er), Paul, we walked for a bit around the base and then up the wild and rugged ‘Savages’ ridge track.

This is a very cool way to go, no set path as such to follow, lots of slabs, and an awesome scramble/climb up the West Peak before heading down and across to the East Peak – exiting via SE Ridge.

Camping at the base of the mountain on the creek at Mt Barney Lodge was a great option with hot showers – just a shame they couldn’t control the extreme wind gusts that hit us this particular weekend!

Most likely to go crazy if left indoors for too long. Thor is best known for having a website dedicated to himself because he can. In addition, it is confirmed the only readers are his close family, so they have easy links to the live tracking of his events and can skim over the recounts. A photo collage of his ability to sleep anywhere and a documentary of this achievement is pending; it is expected to win prizes in seven countries for best mountain film.

    Love your blog- and hate to be a stickler but if you’d made it DOWN Logan’s Ridge i would give you a standing ovation!
    I think you went down the South East Ridge… much more civilised than going down Logan’s. And safer.

    Looking forward to your next posts, especially bike packing stories.
