Anyone done this one in winter?

Article in WILD last year on a winter traverse, worth tracking down if your considering it....

Sounds interesting, might have a look myself. Would be a great or terrible trip under heavy snow I imagine.

Great article. Good pics, so much snow you couldn't see rock. Stories of falling in gaps... snow shoes a must, perfect weather a must, yeh it's a good read.

Yep, found it, Wild edition 120, November/December 2010.
Hell, you'd need your wits about you on that one, maybe a mid-season traverse first might be the go.
Thanks ILUVSWTAS.

Pleasure!! Looks like something from Everest rather than humble ol Tas huh!!

Sounds smart, it's a great walk!!

I went up the Acropolis,Gould and Guardians in deep snow last year. Not for the faint hearted. There are some pretty big rocks up there to fall down. I imagine it would either be amazing or a hell of a struggle. I went up Falling Mt in snow and saw nothing due to the constant mist. If you managed to get clear weather it could be a lot of fun.

Apart from the section between Falling and Massif, the rest should be fairly safe as long as you can see where you are.

I certainly wouldn't put the rocks in the same class as P. West, the Acrop. or Gould, but they still would pose small issues if covered in snow.
