-64- Track crosses Atairo stream at camp then climbs very steeply through grass and stunted bracken to the crest of a razorback spur. This crest irregular in altitude; highest point - 2500 m.; very narrow - almost dizzyly so in places. A step over the edge and one would roll down hundreds of feet to the edge of the forest. Whole upper valley of Gwariu River open to view. A lovely valley; lower slopes mostly forested; some grassy ridges and broad benches; stretches of grassy streamway. A small blue pond on a grassy shelf in the valley about West of camp and same altitude. Ascent of peak starts from a saddle alt. 2430 m. Summit reached 9:15; alt. 2690 m. Alt. 11 o'clock 2700 m. Wynn made the altitude 2785 m. on April 12. This I should say more nearly correct. Fine view of Collingwood Bay coast from west of Kewansasap to near tip of Cape Vogel (tip under cloud) and all north coast of Goodenough Bay. Top of Good-enough Island above a white cloud field (57°), Mt. Simpson (132°) very narrow on top and very steep. Jumble of peaks of the Goropu-Suckling complex a striking sight nearer at hand, a higher (?) grassy height showing beyond through the peaks. None of these mountains are mapped. The Goropu-Suckling height especially confusing. Guise and Armit in 1894 reported having seen Mt. Victoria from somewhere around here, but I doubt it. Clouds obliterated the lowlands before I could take bearings on known points. Baniara Island and Baiawa visible briefly, would have been good points for bearings to fix the position of Maneau. Until today I considered Maneau and Mt. Dayman synonymous. If Mt. Dayman is the highest peak on "Maneau Range", and the height spotted 9300 ft. on the recent maps, it is not Maneau. Maneau is a high peak on the eastern side of the upper Gwariu Valley. At the head of the valley, to the south, are peaks called Cadmarau and Mana-man. Southwest (210 degrees) is Kakatun, the highest and most massive. Kakatun is the culmination of a long grassy spur ascending South along the west side of the Gwariu Valley. I take it to be Mt. Dayman. All four peaks are parts of one mountain cleft to the north by the Gwariu. The very narrow and not always distinct path we followed from camp goes over the top of Maneau and on to Bibitan Village (not visible; about 140 degrees on pointed position given by Diowon. According to Diowon, another track leads from Biniguni up over Mt. Tantama (Tantam of maps), through the upper Gwariu Valley, then between Mana-Man and Kakatun peaks and down to Abau. A third track starting from Muta (Musa River ?) to the north, goes west of Biniguni, ascends the Kakatun spur and drops down to Abau. I take "Abau" to be the south coast of that general area. Two small grass fires were burning near the summit of Mana-Man Peak; lit by Bibitan people, according to Diowon. A smoke fire lit near camp by Geoff at 10 o'clock was on a bearing of 322° degrees from Maneau. Left summit at 11, collected on forests which reach to within 100-200 ft. of the top in gully heads, and arrived back in camp 2:15. Glad to get there. Legs conditioned to uphill travel, but not down hill. No water on peak. Face well sunburned - especially ears.
