From Club Lake you'll be feeling pretty bleak, your day is done with the steeps behind you....never fear, you can still milk a little more vertical before home. For a nice cruise, follow the drainage of Club Lake down to the base of Mt Lee, and get your skin on back to Charlotte's. If those cruisers aren't what you're after, you can still traverse out to the east to join the south eastern runs off Carruther's Peak, granting some short but steep gullies down to Club Lake Creek below.

Moderate
Slopes become slightly steeper at around 25-30 degrees.
Medium Exposure (E2)
