Eastern faces of "Australia's Alp" (the one, singular) - Mount Feathertop - in ATES rating colours for the first time ever.

Red = extreme, dark grey = complex, blue = challenging, green = simple.

No trees are included in this one, some lower slopes will get downgraded with application of realistic forest cover (if I can find data or lidar of the area)

A story about applications for the ATES in Australian conditions coming soon!
