Mount Yukness
Mt. Yukness stats.
5 August 2006
After getting chased away the previous day by sleet/hail/lightning we returned to scramble Yukness from Elizabeth Parker Hut.
Two words on this one. Uberfantastic views.
The scrambling get scrambly below the pinnacles en route to the mountains summit. Otherwise it's pretty easy.
Getting into the right gully helps a lot here. Stay below the pinnacles and pick your route to gain the summit ridge. I think we took the second gully from the climbers left and moved over to the third gully halfway up.
I don't think Yukness (south summit) sees a whole lot of traffic since the register has been there for 14 years (or was it 12, whatever).
Turned back from the Opabin Plateau by this weather. Photo taken from hut.
West flank of Yukness taken from Opabin Plateau less then 24 hours after the above photo.
Trev ascending Yukness.
Hank climbing one of the gully walls below the south summit ridge.
The views abound.
