Northern Territory- Mount Zeil

Not yet climbed.

=================================

Advice from Bill Prime & Nat Prime

To climb Mt Zeil you definitely need to contact Chris Day. We went through Glen Helen Station but definitely need to contact the landholder Ian Morton. This situation obviously changes at times. Zeil was definitely an overnight climb - there is no way you would do it in 1 day

==================================

Advice from Steve Sherwood

You can do Mt Zeil in a day despite the advice. I came close the first time, and did a one day return climb the second time. Its a very long day, dawn to dark. We got back to the car with headlamps and the only guide was the GPS, all visual aides had gone. It's not easy but can be done. I had to leave the gf at the end and run the last km or so to the top, take some quick snaps and leave because of time. Even in winter (we did June both times) it gets very warm and we went through 6ltrs each. It is extremely remote, there is absolutely no path therefore if you get injured or lost there is no clue to where you might be other than somewhere between where you parked and the summit. Satellite phone is mandatory.
