This trail combines the Gold Mint hut trail, Bomber glacier, and Reed Lakes in a single loop-style. If starting at the Mint Hut trailhead, expect to get muddy and wet throughout the valley. The elevation really starts just before Mint Hut - expect it to be slow going from the valley floor, to the Hut, and onwards up the pass. When scrambling up the pass, be careful of the "path" as it is the most unstable rock; climbing just adjacent to the beaten path will provide much more stability. Once at the top of the pass, there are 2 static lines to help you descend to Penny-Royal Glacier (though these can get covered in snow). Follow the stream from Penny Royal Glacier, then cut west at the small lake (or continue all the way to Bomber hut). There is no trail up to Bomber glacier, but it's hard to miss - stick to the east as you hike up to the glacier, then cut across (SW) to the pass that will take you to reed lakes. Near the top of the pass, there are once again 2 static lines to help you get up. The path is then very steep and rocky (no trail) all the way down to upper reed lake. From there, the path is easy to follow and relatively dry; lots of boulder fields on the way out.
