Jamiesons Mtn I spotted 2 and a half years ago while perusing the Peakbagger App. And after watching Grizzly Munro Diaries started looking at it closer. Jamiesons Mtn and three other peaks spotted in the Griffith Area. And had an idea.
June 2nd implemented the plan after waiting 2.5 years and headed north towards Griffith to make it happen. This would different as it didn't involve a race of some kind and some sort of involvement. This was all for me and would be a much more challenging adventure then a race.
Got to Griffith and headed up Hyland Creek Rd which is really more like an Ontario FSR to where base camp would be. I won't share that location as I believe doing so would increase potential overuse and putting people who are not equipped for remote areas into a potential bad situation.
Once there and set up the Ute for camping. Got the gear ready to head out to bag Jamiesons Mtn. To avoid regurgitating the same info and details click on the link below for the details.
Jamiesons Mtn Peak Bagging June 2nd 2025
Once back at camp made food and was the first use of the new kitchen kit I acquired. Though had to be careful as metal utensils and non stick pan/pot don't go well together. Simple one pot meal. There will be a hack gear review of things used in a separate write up.
.
That first night in the back of the Ute wasn't too bad with the sort of truck tent thin bought and got to work with my truck. Mosquito levels where definitely low as the set up kept them to a minimum. While the ability to open the mesh window a wee bit kept the ventilation going. Had a very good sleep that first night.
After waking up and being lazy in camp. geared up for the next days adventure challenge and headed out. Like above more details in the link below for the blog write up.
Griffith Highlands 4 Peak Traverse - Peak Bagging June 3rd 2025
After finishing the traverse and back at camp for lots of water and other fluids as it had been a hot adventure. Decided it would be a wiser decision to stay an extra night and drive home the next day while not as tired. So hung out with Jake a truck dweller who was camping there over the summer and met while there.
Yes admit am jealous of his truck camp set up, I mean way more room to sleep and do stuff. Though not ideal if one also uses their truck also for local errands and such. Maybe have an idea for a project truck related will come of it or finally attempt.
After a second nights sleep which wasn.t as good as the previous nights. No idea why just seemed to kind of more toss and turn. Maybe was too done physically after the traverse in challenging terrain. Who knows. After hanging out a bit more and helping out Jake to run to the Griffith village store for propane and other stuff. It was homeward bound after a successful adventure.
It would only be after getting home that the debate of if or when would go up to Griffith again that discovered a reason. Spotted Three Mountains and wondered if there was a possibility to get one of the three high points. After a Google search found out there is.
So yes if can will return in the Fall for a similar adventure though maybe focus on the one and not multiples. Make it more relaxing trip. Bonus of going in the Fall say September is minimal bugs.
