Mt TATE TOUR
Starting & finishing at Guthega this is a two day 22km round trip walk . Commencing in the sub alpine we climb above the tree line into the alpine zone. Unlike a walk through the lower treed elevations staying in huts this is an expedition style journey into the wild alpine where views are vast & remote. Our campsite will be around the Consett Stephen Pass / Mt Tate area with views down the Guthega river over the alpin style Guthega Village. If you only have one night to spare this is the walk for you!
​
This is an expedition style walk where you are required to carry a multiday pack, campsites are tents in the field. The key to multi-day walks is organisation & efficient systems, we'll undergo a full Gear Shakedown at SMBC HQ to get you ready before starting out.
After completing this journey you will have an excellent understanding of what is required both gear & skills wise to move through the mountains safely & efficiently.
