Gain the South East Ridge of Mt Wilson via a steep scree gully 2km upstream
of the Sudden Valley Biv. Aim for the deep notch just north of Point 1853m.
Leave your un-necessary overnight equipment on the col here and ascend Mts
Wilson and Scott using the rotten rock ridge (Grade 1+).
After recovering your equipment, it is best to sidle high on screes on the
true left of East Edwards River to avoid the following 2km of loose, rotten
ridgeline. A camp below the 1669m saddle is the best option. Regain the ridge
at this point, climbing the buttressed face onto The Dome. Easy walking
follows on to the 1920m summit, dropping true right to a very small green
tarn. Continue sidling to the head of the very large scree slope, descending
directly to the Edwards River.
