| Itinerary: |
|
We'll start at the Burstall Pass parking lot. Head up Burstall Pass for 3 km, then turn off at the flats to continue up the valley to Robertson glacier. Climb up to the pass, and take a long run back down. Depending on time and people's mood, might find somewhere to do a few turns.
As we'll be heading onto a glacier, must have glacier equipment and be familiar with rescue techniques.

If the coordinator cancels an event, participants get a refund (less any non-recoverable costs). Note that ACC National does not refund hut fees due to weather, delay, closures, or any other reasons.
