So the weather looked promising, cloudy & 17.. Started with an early start.. When we got to the carpark low clouds looked like they might stay around all day. But we headed off any way and walked slowly up to the emergency shelter.. sat there for awhile and waited for something to happen.. in less than 30 mins the clouds blew off.. so we started the traverse..

From Hansen's Peak Weidorfer's Tower is completed obscured by cloud..so we wait..

First abseil completed off Little Horn.. Should really start taking some photos..

Along the saddle .. great exposure...

climbing the ridge .. is a bit of choose your own adventure...

came up the north face of weindorfer's tower.. some good soloing was had..

from the tower .. clouds burn off.. beautiful day.. should have put some sun block about now..

second abseil.. off weindorfer's tower ..

we have completed the traverse come down..

an awesome day...

all up round trip 10.5 hours...
