Rod,

Would you feel differently if you had flown to Tas and walked into Frenchman's cap, for instance, only to find the gear required for the route you choose on the only dry day was back in Vic? (Didn't really happen to me, we had good weather, and ran things out cause we chose to carry in a small rack).

Whilst I think formally publishing excessively detailed gear notes (such as in my and HuwJ's Ozi TRs) would be a bit silly, a lot silly maybe, there is some pragmatic common sense info that guide book authors should provide that doesn't ruin the sense of adventure for folks. Heck people continue to have wild times on Angels despite all the info available. ODH clearly understands this, which is probably a good thing for someone writing a guide.
