A two night hike to summit Australia's eleven highest peaks, all over 2000m in elevation and all located on and adjacent to the main range of Kosciuszko National Park. Two of the eleven are the same elevation, and we will climb both.

This hike is rated as Grade 4 (Tracks are long, rough and very steep. Directional signage is limited).

The hike is a 45+km circuit out of Charlotte Pass. Friday is BIG (up to 8 hours moving, approx. 25km and 1000m elevation gain) and Saturday is also a full day of climbing, albeit with day packs on. Breaks will by necessity be short. There is boulder scrambling and likely snow around summits.

This event will suit members with good fitness and appropriate gear. It is a slog, but spectacular. If we haven't hiked together please send me a quick note to outline your recent overnight hike experience.
