Overall rating
  • Great views but a few issues with the pacing and track itself that would make this extremely difficult in wet/icy conditions.

    The first issue is the super long first day, it’s 25km+ (I recorded around 28km with a minor diversion). That is a massive first day with a full pack, and involved a river crossing at the end of the day which was around knee deep when I was hugely fatigued.

    The second day is steep but reasonable, there’s limited water on the way up but it’s only around 4-5ks before you get some accessible water off the western slopes and near Bogong summit, rest to cleve is easy.

    Third day is where the track is messed up, the decent/ascent is a challenge but there’s a huge number of trees down on both sides, and no water sources I could find other than Big River itself during the crossing. The chains are annoyingly not the lowest point to cross but with the height/speed of the water shorter/smaller people will have to choose between safety and ease of crossing.

    The final day is fire trail so easy walking though exposed.

    If anything it might be worth doing this in reverse and stopping at Roper’s on day 1, pushing the climb on day 2, and camping the saddle at the end of quartz day 3.
    That way the longest day is the lightest packs but also the easiest trail.

    Alternatively consider doing the Grey Hills track to Spion and linking back to near Mt Nelsen, this reduces the loop “overlap” and if desired could link another day to the closer huts for a easy final day of 6-8km.

My free planning, food and packing checklists provide an introduction to things your could consider (as well as the Ten Essentials) on your day, overnight and multi-day adventures.

While planning your hike, it’s important to check official government sources for updated information, temporary closures and trail access requirements.
