Day 169 - 16th Sept - Wilson Valley Lean To - West Chairback Pond - 13.9 miles

A rugged day with LOTS of climbing. There are great views from Barren Mt, which is a surprise since we have had such shitty weather over the last week and missed all the views from the summits.

The steep rocky sections are quite challenging for Stickbuilt, and he starts to conk out around 4pm from lack of food. Digby feeds him lots of sugar to get the engines started again, and we make it to a bush camp next to a huge granite boulder at 5pm, near the pond outlet. It is the only flat campsite for miles and we breathe a sigh of relief that we find it, just 10 minutes before a couple arrive from the other direction arrive also looking for a campsite.
