First ascent of McKelvie from McIvor Creek. A route begun in 2010 with further exploration in 2012 when we solved the route through the bluffs guarding the upper bowl.
Finished it today in peerless conditions in 15 hours car to car with a bivouac 3 hours from the finish. Didn't fancy descending that bush in the dark.
Hope others will follow in our footsteps. Once clear of the bush, this is a stunning route.
