- | some water ift it so we immediately forgave it for getting in our way | ||
- | and set off refreshed, in search of our illusive gorge. Eventually we struck the cliff line of a larger side creek and followed this along, climbing slightly until from a tree on a rocky eminence Snow | ||

- | 0 brush and scrub, down low cliffs up low cliffs, until we came to a dry | ||

When we'd eaten, we mounted Snow's red, White and ground sheet in a tree to guide us and leaving our personal impediment, strewn about went off with the rope to find Ettrema Gorge.

- | found the pinnacles we had first viewed connected to the main cliff | ||
- | by the merest wafer of ridge, so up we climbed and named it the Razor. Below us a hopeful looking ridge ran down towards the gorge, so taking stock of cur limited h-ours before sunset, we decided to try for the bottom. Down, down, we went, running, jumping, scrambling. The ridge | ||
