What do Mt Ida and Craig Sarle have in common? Both are to be found in remote parts of Tasmania. Recently, they were in the same remote sits on the remote part of Tasmania, on the north-eastern shore of Lake St Clair, where Craig photographed the unusual-looking peak before doing what mostof us wouldn’t cotemplate, and probably coudn’t even if we did, and that is to climb it.
According to Craig Searle, “Mt Ida’s unique shape makes it one of the more easily identifiable mountains in Tasmania. Most walkers get to the foot of the climb via some form of watercraft, and while the final ascent is steep and not for the faint-hearted, the view more than compensates.”
