Eastern Arthurs

And prominent Federation Peak

Eastern Arthurs is another very rugged by glaciers mountain range with prominent Federation peak.

I combined Eastern Arthurs with the Western. From Lake Rosanne I walk down a formal trail to Luckmans lead. It was overgrown and also I get confused with wombat tracks over there. Next time I would follow Lucifer Ridge, it wouldn't be harder and also a few kilometer shorter. Walking the ridge is in the same style as in Western Arthurs: rough, hard and fun.

To walk Southern Traverse section and climb the Federation Peak I waited out weater at Hanging Lake. Short walk to Geeves Bluff is a great option if you are doing so. It is importan to be confident if you want to do Federation Peak, fatalities is a good reminder of that, including the one 2 days after my visit. Technically the climb does not get harder than some sections of the trail in the Arthurs, but it is 150 meters to get to the top and exposure is 600. Make sure you are not doing a mistake and the rewarding experience is going to be great!
