Mount Maroon Climb via Cotswold Track
The east face of Mount Maroon lit up by the morning sun. This is a relatively short climb to the summit (966 metres), but it will give you a good work out as it is straight up. Double click on the photos to see them in full screen. The most direct summit route is via the ridgeline on the left of the photo. You cut across to the right at the base of the exposed cliff and up through the gorge, keeping to the left hand track as you come into the old campsite. The actual summit is to your left and the track to the right leads you up to the natural ampitheatre on the north eastern side of the mountain. There are other longer routes to the summit (i.e. caves route) and plenty of scrambling to be had if you want to burn off some more energy exploring this mountain. Take your time and enjoy the views along the way. The climb itself isn't technical, there are parts you will need to lift yourself up and none of it is very exposed. Just lots of rocks and not so fun on the way down for
