F-Knob, Routeburn Track, 31 August - 1 September 2013

F-Knob (Trig F on the old inch-to-a-mile maps) is a wonderful vantage point above the Routeburn Track. I walked in to Routeburn Flats Hut on Friday night, then up to Routeburn Falls and to the summit on Saturday. A campsite at 1500m on the mountain's north-east ridge was simply wonderful. On Sunday, I descended the way I had come.
