A nice sunny day for one of the best ridge walks in the spray lakes area. After one hour of light bushwacking we left the trees behind and started up the ridge


Red Ridge

There are opportunities for easy scrambling or the steepest sections can be bypassed on the right.


Yoko takes the route less travelled

Red Ridge, the optional scramble

3 hours later we were at the high point were we had lunch in cool conditions


Standing room only. Red Ridge summit

From the summit we continued to a low col and after a short traverse down a wide scree gully to Sparrowhawk tarns where we had a long siesta in warm sunshine


Descent from ridge to sparrowhawk tarns

Back at the cars shortly after 4 just in time to beat the rain. Thanks to all the participants for a great day. Ivan. Yoko. Karen. Seyil. France. Joe. Laszlo. Dee. Paul, Eva, Nancy, Aldis, Bill, Rick and Robert. Francisco C/S
