I'm planning to go up to the summit of Mt. Gudgenby in May. Of the peaks that I've climbed in the ACT, this has been the most rewarding but the challenge of getting there is substantial.
The undergrowth is very dense as a result of the 2020 bushfires. This will be a long hard day of bush bashing 20 km through pretty dense scrub. You'll need to be fit, experienced and tough to come along. I'm proposing that we drive out on Friday night and camp near Frank and Jack's Hut so that we can leave for the summit early in the morning. It will be a pretty cold camp out and a very early and cold start. For the ascent, we'll pack minimal to make the bush-bashing easier.
Here's a link describing the trail before bushfire regrowth made it very difficult:
