Mt Anne Track, Southwest NP — Mt Anne, Southwest NP
A lot of boulder hopping on this walk. It will slow you down if you are not confident at it. For some reason boulders like this fill me with energy and I bound around like a mountain goat. One day I'll probably come a cropper, but for a usually risk averse person I seem oblivious to the possibility of breaking a leg or knocking myself out at the top of a mountain, many hours away from help. Hey ho.

Looking back up to the summit cliffs of Mt Wellington in the afternoon. The light isn't so good at this time because the cliffs are in shadow, but I guess they a touch foreboding with the dark clouds behind. And there's that bloody communications tower.
