Yea.....Its actually not all that high at around 1650asl but it is a long way from the bushline....especially from the mount Robert route with all that exposed ridgeline to walk its about the worst way possible to access in bad weather, Speargrass route keeps you in shelter 90% of the way and there is a hut at the bushline if conditions are too bad to continue...maybe the river put them off that route I dont know.
