Australia's Most Difficult Mountain Trail

Welcome back again to remote Southwest Tasmania! The Western Arthurs Traverse (WAT) is regarded by many as Australia’s most challenging multi-day hike. On this trail there is the opportunity to summit many different peaks. Some groups will complete the whole Western Arthurs circuit in 4-5 days. We set out with 8 days of supplies and then made the conscious decision on Day 3 that we would need to start rationing our supplies to last 9-10 days. Due to the wind direction, most groups will do the trek in a west to east direction. Many attempts on the WAT fail due to the weather, we had been monitoring the weather for about a week prior and headed into the track with a clear forecast of minimal rain. In the wrong weather conditions, Western Arthurs is an extremely dangerous trail and should not be attempted in winter or heavy rain. There are some tales of winter attempts on WAT; they are all horror stories. There are countless instances of injury, death, and emergency rescues on WAT. A trip to WAT should be planned carefully. PACK HAULING The Western Arthurs is known for its numerous sections of “pack hauling.” Pack hauling is when you must take your backpack off and lift it up through a technical section or lower it down by rope. One of the main questions asked about the WAT hike is, “how much pack hauling rope will I need.” A 4mm thick gear rope that’s about 6 metres long should be enough; mostly you will be lowering your pack downwards. This hike starts on the Port Davey Track that you may have seen in one of our previous videos.
