Reaching Mountain Goat

People Milestones
1

Yesterday I went with my friend Rob VK2QR to activate VK2SM-003 Mt Twynam.
it was a one of those rare beautiful days you can get on the roof top of Australia.
We Made the Summit in just on 2.5 hrs of steady climbing.
it is possible to climb this Summit more direct than we did ,but it is far tougher.
being my second activation of this Summit I picked it to get my Mountain Goat ,because it is a spectacular Summit and has a very good oulook
in all directions .
The first time I came here with my brother we had winds exceeding 100 klmhr we had a job to stay on our feet.
being such a great day this time .
memorable day we made it back to our vehicle at 5pm
it is definitely a one day summit you would not try to do 2 in this area
a big thank you to all the chasers and fellow activators that have shared with me contacts and lots of very enjoyable Sota activity.
Look forward to the next twelve months of Sota with more and more Interest
from New Activators and Chasers

Hi Rod,
Congratulations - you have worked hard for this. A great example for mature age amateurs. Also not many people know of your battle to get back on your feet (literally) after riding a collapsing tower to the ground.
