22nd September 2014
The rain which continued all night eased off from about 6:00am to occasional showers. By late morning it seemed to have dried up enough to venture up Bluff Knoll, which is the highest peak in the range. There is a good access road and a well formed track as this is also the most popular climb.

When we set off it was showering a bit, windy and very cold so we decided not to even try for the summit as it would be very exposed.

Instead we went about halfway, a climb of 300 metres, and turned back when we came out above the trees to the sheer rocky crags.
The views from here were amazing despite the stormy clouds constantly rolling over the distant peaks. Lots of great wildflowers too.
