    Respect! Hardcore! Hannels Spur Track is a 22.5km, grade 5 hike located in the Kosciuszko National Park, New South Wales. The Hannels Spur Track is unique in offering the greatest elevation gain (1800m) of any single hike in Australia. Mount Kosciuszko, is mainland Australia's tallest mountain, at 2,228 metres (7,310 ft) above sea level. You did really well! Great video!

    My daughter recently climbed Mt Kosciusko. She’s 21 and into hiking and quite fit. She said the climb was pretty steep but the view was worth it. It took her 4 hours and there was snow on the peaks even in October. I was so proud of her in climbing Australia’s highest mountain. She said it’s not that difficult considering.

    thanks for great video showing all the colours & clear sound. noted the overgrown track at lower levels. big climb from 500m at Geehi (Alpine rd) where i imagine you started to Kosi at 2228m. you were very brave but lucky have apparently experienced companion Ashley & good weather. the leeches are horrible but harmless. the spiders are everywhere, again harmless. the black snakes - well you’re lucky to see one. the bogs maybe hard to avoid - must have been lots of recent rain. looked so lush & green. my fear would be ground misting over & losing the track. and suffering wind & cold exposure in a sudden change of weather. I did Kosi yrs ago the easy way via Thredbo chairlift. also o/n backpacked the area a few times in distant past & experienced some brief unpleasant cold weather events, typical of these mountains.

    So funny when I imagine my local mountain on my doorstep, the Pilatus mountain, which is a few meters lower, about 80-100 meters, than Australia's highest mountain, it's a strange idea! And my local mountain, the Pilatus, is not even that high if you go towards the highest, which is basically twice as high at almost 4000 meters! But my smaller local mountain has the steepest cogwheel railway in the world up to the Pilatus Kulm 😉🤘🏻🤗! Greetings from 🇨🇭 Switzerland

    I hiked Kosciuszko back in October ‘99, not too many spiders and leeches yet that year as there were still snowfields at the top that spring. How surprised was I though to see poisonous snakes up near the tree line, only in Australia! It was that year also that three young men died in a snow camping accident and rescue services were still conducting body recovery searches. Because I’d descended off-trail across large a snowfield, they inquired if I’d seen anything unusual. I found out later that they suffocated when their snow cave entry collapsed, and I must have passed darn close to their final campsite. A sad epilogue to what was otherwise an excellent solo adventure.

    Many years ago we went on a lazy bushwalk up to the Snowies and camped at the luxurious Lake Albina . One problem - spiders - in fact they were a thing called Alpine Funnelwebs. Not very aggro but a bit of a worry as there were lots of them and they get into tents and everything. Not sure whether they are venomous to this day.
    You do encounter snakes up in the top country (copperheads at least) and one of our mates was bitten up there. No comment but not funny.
    If you liked this walk then another walk in the mud and slug ascent vein if South Coast Tasmania walk. This takes about 7 days and one day is climbing the Ironbound Range which is very steep and goes from sea level to over 4000 feet. And you have to wallow in ankle deep mud on the ascent as you (and worse) do for the rest of the walk. Same there - you'll need to do it in Summer due to weather conditions and you can worry about snakes too.............copperheads and tiger snakes..............

    Thaddeus Kosciuszko is a name I’m very familiar with. He was a Polish General who fought on the American side during our Revolutionary War in 1776. He was a brilliant military strategist who helped us win the war. I wonder how he’s related, if at all, to the person who the mountain you’re climbing is named after?
