Part 2

To Rocks Ahead Hut Via Manson Ridge then up to Back Ridge Hut

This section has the famous cablecar . I would suggest two people use this at one time. One using the winch at the bank and the other using the hand winch in the cable car. You hook the cable car to the bank with a big hook. Make sure you only insert the winch handle when the cable car has fully reached the centre otherwise it spins.
