Nina Creek Route to Bowen
Karmen Nisbet, John Reilly, Jim Cameron, Lon Danson
Climb out of gully behind huge jumbled rock - no-see-um 10/15 ft clamber up rock & roots. A small rope would be of assistance. This is no of loose earth.
There is always water accessible in the upper reaches of Nina Ck closer to campsite.
One easy day to Mt Bowen & return from this point.
Half day back to Ramsay Bay via Nina Pk ridge.
This new route is an excellent, scratch-free, hassle-free method of getting up onto the ridge.
