Day 3 - no reading The maintenance crew had no reason to access the mountain on Wednesday, so we have no official rainfall record. But the rain gauges were still gathering the constant drizzle. The day started early with porridge and strong grainy coffee (someone forgot the plunger). The goal was to push as far north as possible along the north-south ridge. This ridge extends roughly five kilometres northwards from the transmission facility before dropping down into the Behana Creek valley. The northern peaks on Bellenden Ker's main ridge were visited by several early explorers, where a number of plant specimens were collected that have not been since. Right from the beginning of European settlement, the mountain exerted a strong attraction to European scientists. Accounts of their explorations are often dramatic, and full of violence against, or ignorant dismissal of, Indigenous people.
