Water quality at the bungles 25-Oct-2005 At 10:08:09 AM mikepatt

Hi Bill,

Good news is the Balor Hut tank has lots of nice fresh water, and no signs of mossie lavae.
We got lucky with the weather sneaking in between rain Thurs/Friday and Monday.
I'd been warned off Lieben due to seepage so did Flight of the Phoenix instead; simply awesome. A long day after a six hour drive and less than four hours sleep. A lazy day on Sunday up on Belougery in the shade.
Bear in mind it's getting hot and you'll need a lot of water for the long routes. Most of the good stuff is in the sun but Vertigo & Endeavor Face on Belougery are mostly in the shade if you need cool climbs.
There's a big coffee percolator in the hut and some old climbing mags and assorted climbing notes including Will Monk's description of FotP which we sort of followed.
Good luck with the weather and climb safe.

Mike.
