Kristian Demsky 3.01.2013 12 1day 17hours Beautiful weather for both days. The notes on this site were really helpful. Camped at Mueller's Pass after bagging eight peaks, leaving Kosciuszko, Unnamed Peak, Ram's Head North and Ram's Head for the last day. Making your way across the valley from Abbott Peak, and again at Ram's Head, took some time. Stunning sunset and sunrise. Was able to reach the Kosciuszko summit by 6am and there was nobody else in sight, fantastic! This is definitely worth doing.

This is a challenge to complete the 17 highest peaks in Australia in one trip. (Also climbed Mt Stillwell (#22) on this trip). I completed it solo in Winter using snow shoes.
Just under two days to complete.. Add another 3.5 Hrs to get to / from Eagles Nest at Thredbo to complete the loop.
Total distance covered = 43 km. Near perfect weather first two days. Windy last day.
Second day was perfect in every way - especially weather. Watched a great sunset from Twynum and then hiked by starlight for another few hours to campsite. Completed 22 km and 12 peaks on that day.
Peak Order: Rams Head, North Rams Head, Etheridge Ridge, Mount Kosciuszko, Abbott Peak, Byatts Camp Peak, Mount Townsend, Mount Alice Rawson, Muellers Peak, Mount Clarke, Mount Northcote, Mount Lee, Carruthers Peak, Watsons Crag Dome (Mt Dubious), Mount Twynam, Little Twynam, Mt Stillwell, Rams Head Range.

 3.5 days Great walk, missed out on Mt Dubious because of low visibility and wet maps. Beautiful views and a good challenge.

 3 With a group of 22 we overcame the elements (fog, rain and hail) to climb all 10 highest peaks (plus a few extras as we weren't sure which was Alice Rawson). Awesome experience. Great hike. Beautiful nature.

 4 days Every bump over 2000 metres within a cooee of Kosi. Fantastic trip!  Fantastic weather, just one morning of whiteout to keep things interesting over Carruthers.  Great reason to ski / walk the main range at any time of year!

 2.5 days Fantastic environment, conditions extremely variable (from calm and visible to 100km/h + winds and zero vis), looking forward to 2012 winter season and completing all summits on the main range.

 11 hours 8 min Great walk, one of the best. Late start then picked off all 12 peaks plus Muellers in vis that came and went, made a fair few silly route finding decisions but overall a marvellous day - The fiery sunset from Tennison woods knoll was the icing on the cake. We’ll be back.

 31 hours Our group of 7 completed the Charlottes Pass loop in 31 hours, including a sensational camp overlooking Koszciusko.  The group covered several other peaks outside of the official Aussie 10 list, where we weren’t sure of the higher peak on the maps we covered both given the proximity of peaks in the area.  A truly amazing environment, we were blessed with beautiful weather and would have been happy to spend many more days off the track.  It’s just a shame that Townsend is not the tallest mountain in Australia, as it is slightly more rewarding than strolling up Koszciusko.

 13 hours Finished the State Eight recently and we were inspired by Roland to have a go at the Ten. Really lucky with great weather and did the loop from Charlottes Pass in one day although we had allowed two. Truly beautiful area and awesome when you get off the tracks. Favourite peaks were Townsend and Rams Head North. Carpe Diem.

 ~12 hours Carrying only day packs our party of 6 completed the 12 peaks in just over 12 hours. After the long drive up from Melbourne the night before we set out in fine conditions at 10am only to watch the clouds descend over us before we reached the summit of the first peak. Conditions remained cool and misty for most of the day and we were greeted with <20m visibility at all of our first 8 peaks. The conditions improved on the climb up to Mt Kosciusko and remained fine for the rest of the day. We climbed the final peak at ~7.30pm and were treated to a glorious sunset behind us on the Rams head before a long stroll along the path back down to our cars at Charlotte’s pass. This was a great days walking in an amazing part of the country.

3 days Thanks for the suggestion of this walk Roland. We had a fantastic time. Lunch time Friday till 11 am Monday was spent solidly walking. We parked at Thredbo and did the ramsheads on Friday camping off the dead horse gap track. Twynham and the 3 adjacent peaks were Saturday's effort. Carruthers and Townsend on Sunday with Koszciusko and Etheridge on Monday morning.
