Pictures from the September 25th assault on Mt Jerusalem via the south ridge

For the September Clamberers walk, six intrepid walkers pioneered a previously unexplored route to the summit of Mt Jerusalem, but way of the un-tracked South Ridge. This included following a compass course due north from Girraween through untracked scrub and across Dry Creek, then a steep climb for a couple of hundred metres through bracken and light scrub. For the following hour, the ridge continued to climb northward, but less steeply and with open tree vegetation . Lunch was taken just south of the summit of Mt Jerusalem, with good views to the south-east as far as Tokar and Oakridge wineries in Gruyere, and beyond. Returning along the Mt Jerusalem fire trail, many grass trees, native orchids and other wild flowers were observed.
