Blue Lake Climbing and Ski Touring - Aug 2012

 Driving-in on the snow

 Snowy River

 On the way

 In a whiteout

Iceing up 

 On the lake

 Camp at Blue Lake

 Ice climbing

Ice climbing 

Scratch on nose from chipped ice while climbing


Ice climbing 

View from Carruthers peak 

Standing on frozen Club Lake 

 Friendly policeman on the Main range

My turns in virgin snow at Club Lake

Footprints back to camp 

Abseiling back down a climb

Party in snow cave 

 Snow cave entrance and builder

Camp at Blue Lake 

Path of my fall in avalanche
