Availability of Water:

Can fill up from Bannockburn Creek when you cross it, but I would treat it before drinking to be sure it wasn't going to cause you issues (I have had it untreated and not had problems though).

Seasonality Issues:

Can get quite exposed up on top, so windproof and waterproof would be required in nasty conditions.
