How did you access this zone?

We caught over snow transport from Perisher to Charlotte Pass Ski Resort. You can split from Guthega at Perisher, but it’s about an extra nine kilometres each way to access the steeper stuff that we wanted to access, which usually means an overnighter or only enough time to do one steep line. From Charlotte pass we splitboarded out to Blue Lake and then Carruthers Peak. It’s quite remote, on our last day trip we covered almost twenty kilometres!

The Watson’s Crags area is the steepest in the area with some super gnarly lines, but it’s not a day trip, you need to camp. The hike out is excruciatingly painful as its pretty much straight back up.
