THE ADVENTURE
We’re talking climbs that’ll push your mental and physical limits right to the edge and beyond, with campfires and camaraderie to bring you back down to the tribal male within.
So, grab your hiking boots because we're heading to the Snowy Mountains to take the ultimate challenge.
Over this wild long weekend, you’ll scale Australia’s tallest peaks and break your personal limits—whether it’s scaling Australia’s highest peaks or how many times you piss yourself laughing in a day.
We’ll break into breathwork sessions and cold water immersion—we’ll toss you into crystal-clear streams fed by snowmelt straight off the mountain. It’s the freshest water you’ll probably ever experience.
We’re not just here to drag you up and down mountains; this isn’t about earning bragging rights. We’re here to raise money for some amazing charities and push you to become a better man.
We’ll give you the space and the tools you need to tap into your inner king and warrior.

From the summit (2,195m), enjoy far-reaching views of Blue Lake Cirque and the Western Falls. Next, we conquer Carruthers Peak (2,145m), one of the more prominent mountains found along the Main Range track, offering stunning views over Club Lake and across the valley to our starting place of Charlotte Pass. From the summit of Mt Carruthers we make our way south along the Main Divide, past Club Lake and Lake Albina towards Mueller’s Pass.

Today we climb five peaks. From our campsite, we head cross country towards Mt Townsend (2,209m), the second-highest peak in Australia. It is more impressive than Mt Kosciuszko itself and involves a short rock scramble to reach the top where we be rewarded with breathtaking views from the summit. From here, we continue to Alice Rawson (2,160m), Abbott Peak (2,145m) and finally Du Faur Peak (2,159m) which are all located close by. We will then return to our campsite, pack up our gear and walk back to Mueller’s Pass before heading south the Mt Kosciuszko (2,228 m), the highest point in Australia. From Mt Kosciuszko, we will descend along the south ridge to our campsite just below Lake Cootapatamba, which is Australia’s highest lake.

We depart from our campsite this morning and make our way cross country to Ramshead North where we will drop our packs. A short rock scramble will take us to the summit of the 7th highest peak in Australia. From Ramshead North we will climb Ramshead (2,190m) about 2 km away, then return to Ramshead North to pick up our packs. From here we make our way back to the Kosciuszko summit metal walkway heading back towards Rawson’s Pass. We will then ascend our last summit, Etheridge Peak (2,180 m) which provides a commanding view of Mt Kosciuszko and the headwaters of the mighty Snowy River. From Etheridge Peak we will take a direct cross-country route to Seaman’s Hut, an emergency shelter not far from the summit of Mt Kosciuszko. The last 6 km part of the walk takes us along a dirt road towards Charlotte Pass. Along the way we will enjoy weathered snow gums and rock formations. A short 10 minute drive takes us back to our lodge at Perisher for a team dinner to celebrate our amazing accomplishment of climbing ten peaks in three days!
