Western Arthur Range Traverse

Submitted by pbakwin on Tue, 01/30/2018 - 08:51pm
Description

Historically, speed trips have done the following:  Junction Creek, Moraine A, Moraine K and back to Junction Creek

In 2015 guidebook author John Chapman contacted the site Admin about this route. He indicates that the above trips go only as far as Moraine K, "which is only about 2/3 along the range." Chapman feels that the full traverse should be all the way to Lake Rosanne, so the times quoted above are for a partial traverse. Something for future record seekers to consider.
