23 Sep, Sat 7:30AM				Pantoneys Crown and return
Grade:5/6		Length	8km	450m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
(Fully Booked - Ask leader about waiting list) Rising up from the Capertee Valley, Pantoneys Crown is majestic from all angles and is indeed a mountain worth ascending as the view from the top is truly outstanding, and I should know as this will be my 22nd visit to the top! Of course to get to that summit requires some bush bashing and steep ascending via a somewhat rocky ridge, but hey, that's all in the fun of it! Off-track, rock scrambling and bush bashing.
