Author Topic: Crusader peak, Mt Arthur Range  (Read 215 times)

Lodestone is on the list (my forefathers made 1st ascent in 1863).
So, why not the peak next door? There's a track up Lodestone, then a scrubby traverse over McMahon to the final dracophyllum forested ascent of Crusader. It looks rugged and remote, but it's easily achievable from Nelson for experienced trampers.

I climbed from Graham Valley Nth branch up random spur, bushbashing for 5 hours to top... Definitely not the recommended route. A full traverse of the Arthur range ispossible from Mt Campbell south to Mt Patriarch.(which should also be on list).
