Online alarm clock for 3:18 am
While you watch the clock for the moment to leave for Lindis Pass clearing, set the alarm for 3:18 am and keep your gear ready. The early start can put the crew on the road well before 4:00 am, without turning the wait into repeated checks of your phone.
A departure like this needs a tone that suits where you are waiting. Choose a gentler sound if others nearby are sleeping, or a more persistent one if road noise, heavy clothing, or tiredness could make a quiet alert easy to miss. Check the volume now and leave the alarm page active. If the browser session ends or the phone sleeps, the alarm may not sound, which could delay the Lindis Pass clearing run.
Once the 3:18 am alarm has sounded and you have confirmed the departure, avoid letting the remaining night disappear into unnecessary phone use. If another crew member is driving, settle back promptly so there is still a useful stretch of sleep before daylight. If you are driving, use the waiting time beforehand for rest, then allow enough time to become fully alert, collect your layers, and check the conditions before heading towards the pass.
