Lagoon Saddle/Mt Bruce - 24th May 2009

Another CTC trip that had to change tact due to weather conditions. The original plan was to head to Mt Barossa behind Mt Somers, but with a bitterly cold southerly and snow expected, it was decided to head inland more and see what we could do. It was decided to head to Lagoon Saddle for a womble and we sidled round the north face of Mt Bruce in quite a bit of snow before lunching at the saddle hut. The plan was to just head back the way we came but as the clouds lifted off Mt bruce, we decided to head up onto the top for a look. We plugged our way up through the snow for a very short stop at the top, as the wind was horrible, before plunging our way back down to the cars.
