From pt1415, the main range continues NNE over a series of peaks (pt 1437 being the only one marked on the map) . A steep climb follows to Mt Dundas. The summit is surprisingly featureless, and a compass is required to locate the descent route in poor visibility. Another saddle and climb take you to Logan, from where an easy descent drops to pt1415 and the signposted turnoff for Dundas Hut.

There is no obvious ground trail along this section and it is not marked / poled.

Note: Described in the reverse direction to your journey

From Pt1415 above Dundas Hut, the well-trodden (but unmarked) track continues SW with sharp climbs and descents to Logan (1500m) and Mt Dundas (1499m). Care is required in bad weather on Mt Dundas to select the correct ridge: from the trig point head at 185 degrees, dropping steeply, and avoiding the more obvious ridge which continues a short distance SW before ending in bluffs. There is no obvious ground trail along this section and it is not marked / poled.

From Dundas the ridge continues climbing and falling over a series of small peaks (pt 1437 and pt 1424 being the only ones marked on the map). Pt1424 is the junction with the shark-toothed Bannister Range, joining from the east. A fun, challenging route towards Cattle Ridge / Cow Creek / Blue Range - in good conditions.
