October 2nd Wednesday

Piggy Plus Col is accessed from the Burstall Pass trail from the Spray lakes road oposite Chester Lake parking . The first part follows a small creek which has a few tricky bits especially with the snow covering the rocks and the edge of the water. The trail then asends as the picture above show to the open valley with views of the Col and the Robertson Glacier.

The Col was not reached on this trip due to the large amount of snow but there is a great view point overlooking the Burstall Creek Valley. Most of the pictures in the slide show are from this point.
