Route & General Observations

Toured up to bomber pass via reed lakes to return the missing puzzle piece to Joe Stock’s face at Bomber Hut. Noted one large crown on a West (?) facing aspect in the distance, possibly a whumph or two, and ultimately did not feel like it was worth it to continue to the hut -the skin track is now set for all to enjoy :).
