Cathedral Ranges

17/2/12 – One night

A quick return visit to the Cathedral Range once again commencing with the walk up the Jawbones track…am I getting accustomed to this climb? We spent the night at the Farmyard before walking back along the Ridge to the Sugarloaf. The walk along is challenging with lots of rock hopping and short climbs made even more difficult with our packs. I love this sort of stuff while Andrea has a different perspective. We finished the walk by returning to the Jawbone CP along Cathedral Lane. This time we had added some new gear....yep, there was no going back now.

We picked up a Marmot Earlylight 3P from Sierra Trading Post...special deal that arrived in Australia for around $180. While the tent is considered a three person it would be a fun night  of 1, 2, 3, roll over! Still, there is plenty of space for the two of us with great vestibules for gear and possible cooking in inclement weather.

Packs was another well considered purchase in the end we went for Osprey packs from Paddy Pallin. So far so good. Andrea's is a 65 litre and mine 70 litre and there is plenty of room for our gear.

Most of our gear is now coming from www.hiking.com.au we are very pleased with the service and deliver as well as the price. I will do a separate post about our gear.

Well, once again we enjoyed our little sojourn and no doubt will be back for another training run. The views along the way are spectacular and well worth the effort. While only a fleeting visit the Range never disappoints.

Like the hat!
