Piggy Plus - Burstall col Off-Trail hike on 19-Sep-2026
We left the parking lot at a brisk pace trying to get warm in a frosty morning. No delayering stops , only to add layers. We made good time to the col and proceeded up the ridge on a partial walk. A few went past the end point to the next bump. Afterwards we went for the costumary walk in the larch forest and up to the Robertson glacier viewpoint.
