It wouldn't have been my 1st choice of route, but as I knew the cloud level wasn't that high, I decided to do the Mountain Track. It was heaving. Not my idea of walking, I like the isolation. After the previous 2 days, where I saw no-one, it came as a bit of a shock!
The top was in cloud, so no nice views. Based on today, I won't be rushing back. It may be the highest, but it seems wrong that this one is crowded, when the others on the area are deserted.
I thought going up was bad, but the descent was even worse. The path is consistently steep, so there is no respite. Unfortunately I seem to have aggrivated a knee problem that I had while skiing, so I think that may be the end of this trip :(
(Technical Data: distance = 16.5km, ascent = 1343m)
