Russells Needle, Nattai Nat Pk, NSW, Australia

Go to Index

This is the second time Alan, Yus, Lisa and I
climbed Russells Needle in Nattai Nat Pk, NSW.

The first time was 4 months ago, from north-east.
Photographs and trip report are in this link:
https://mntviews.blogspot.com/2019/10/russells-neede-nattai-nat-pk-nsw.html

This time, the same gang climb it from the south.

Since not many people have successfully
reached the summit of Russells Needle,
would climbing it twice qualify us as experts
on this peak ??? 😊😊😊


Pictures - 2020 March

A detailed trip report will be written up one day.
For now, enjoy these pictures.

- You can see the burnt trees from a fierce bushfire
  only a month or so ago.

5)  The final ascent.
- It is quite a challenge, not for the faint hearted.
- Some photographs from the internet
  show climbers using a rope to climb up here.
  Us 4 intrepid climbers don't need any rope 😊

Why do I climb mountains?
If you have to ask the question, you wouldn't understand the answer.

The mountain in the above pic is Castell y Gwynt. It is a top of Glyder Fach in Snowdonia, north-west Wales.

What to say when a hiker asks,
"How much farther to the top?"
