Getting there We drove the two hour trip from Hobart arriving at Lake St Claire at about 9am. It was very cold at 5°. There was a light dusting of snow on Mt Rufus. The Summit We left at 9.50, deciding to walk the circuit clockwise. It was still very cold. The walk up was very nicely graded with quite gradual climbing all the way. It was also very pretty walking in the rainforest for the first hour, continually crossing little running streams and the occasional bigger one. We gradually came into more open country and encountered some very light snow drifting on us. We climbed up to the exposed ridge, which we would follow up to the top of Mt Rufus, and we suddenly s...
