2000 MOUNT FIRST HIKE PHOTOS BY DAVE GARDNER & MARK HUTTON |
|
From the top of Mount First 2548.6m the path makes a
steep descent, and wires are in place for safety. The ridge now rises
again to the top of Horvang 2518.6m but the path contours round this
peek. Past the peek of Horvang the path ascends again to the top of
Stand 2319.8m. The section between the top of First and the top of Stand
is the hardest on the hike as far as footpaths are concerned, although
where there are difficulties there are always wires in place. Group
2 passed group 1 between First and Stand. FAR LEFT: A view
of the path from the top of First and the ridge rising to the peek of
Horvang. |
ABOVE: Group 1 tackling the tricky section of the ridge just after Mount
First. LEFT: Two Scouts who were nicknamed Terrence and Phillip on the footpath between First and Stand. |

After a hard days walking it's
good to know that everyone was still friends, especially two people who
shall remain nameless. LEFT: "Friends." |
