Hi, stumbled across your site by accident when I was looking for hut photos. I can recommend the tramp from Middy Hut, up Conical Knob and then along the ‘fixed wire traverse’. At the bushline you make your way around an exposed rock ledge and up a short gully – not as bad as it sounds with the added support of the wire. From there you’re on the tops, over Mts Fell and Richmond.
