2014 - Falls Creek to Eskdale Spur via Mt Bogong - Genesis of an idea

This trip was the brain child of Pierre with the central notion of wanting to go up Quartz Ridge to Mt Bogong. With a bit of planning we arrived at a fairly good trip plan and the usual logistics commenced. Greg doing the trip planning, JayBee doing the menu planning, Pierre, Cam and Chis doing what ever else required doing. A major concern before we got underway was the smell of the Shellite, a new manufacturer and a new smell, would it work in our MSRs, would it work at altitude, would it work in the cold. Greg checked out if it would work in the MSRs, the rest was up to fate. After all it was still shellite and unsurprisingly it did work at altitude and in the cold - it just smelt different.
