From Pass Creek - we did a long day of walking up to Hanging Lake and
then climbed Federation Peak later that afternoon.

It was a good idea to climb the peak when we could. Bad weather was
coming -

Above - We sat out the storm all the next day in our tents at Hanging
Lake. The day after - the storm was still around - but we were running
out of food and fuel - so in the afternoon we broke camp and retreated
in very bad weather for Pass Creek, and the next day walked out via the
Yo Yo Track.
