Help with winter expedition sled 15-Aug-2012 At 2:41:39 PM Wollemi

The eyelet shown on the 'Fibreglass pole to rod end' looks a bit like the sled/pulk set-up we hired (just to keep my mate happy) from PP Jindabyne in 2010. Perhaps email them the link to this thread.

I am still undecided about the benefits of using a sled for base camping at Blue Lake to ice-climb. Train up by running and weights, then tele-ski (or snowshoe) in with your 28kg backpack may be the lesser of two evils.
Good times though; laughing when you find half-skins don't work (on a windless sunny day). And the laughing at my own anger when the sled kept toppling enroute (at night from Charlottes Pass to a certain hut).
Expect less than 2km/hr progress.

Also consider asking about your simple technical build any one of numerous Australians who have sled dragged big time; Muir/Philips/Treseder/CasandJonesy.
