Maybe the have closed it or certain areas of the park. It never used to have any waro restrictions. Yeah I have no doubt they were loopy flights. To be honest I have done hundreds of loopy flights through that whole area and I tried to do them as fast as I could as I hated doing them.
Every now and then a few hotties would come up and I drew those rides out, as long as possible.
Had 2 German girls get their gear off when we landed in the snow once. I had to take pictures for them and everything. Twas horrible
Do what ya want! Ya will anyway.

I reckon the worst part of the whole trip was the bushbash between the north end of the Olivine Ledge and the Olivine River/Sunset Creek junction. Just over 1km, 500m height loss and it took us about 5 bloody hours to get through it. Bush lawyer, bluffs and big packs are an unpleasant combination.

Brings back a few memories from a trip we did in there about 25 years ago. Dad was doing geological mapping in the area so we flew in and stayed about a week on the Plateau, also climbed Little Ark as well as an attempt at Darkness.
Also done the 3 passes so been over Park pass and Sugarloaf so seen a bit of that part of the world.
Thanks for sharingGravelBen likes this.
