What a beautiful day and such a gorgeous hike. Monorail still exists in spots above Zeacliff Pond, becoming more prevalent as you ascend. However, it was surprisingly stable and I postholed only once the entire day. Views from Zeacliff were top notch. Hut Croo were busy opening up the hut. Water was bone chilling cold but felt good to soak my weary feet in during a rest at the hut on the way down. |
