After convincing the Police at Mansfield that we were from Geelong College, not Gram­ mar, we were welcomed to the area. We then headed on to The Bluff Saddle where we left the mini bus with very little petrol remaining. We then attempted to climb The Bluff, hop­ ing to make camp on top. The slope proved steeper than was expected, and as night was setting in, we camped at the first "flat" part that we came to (30° slope). A restless night's sleep, with rocks placed at our feet to prevent us sliding out of the tent, followed.
