This trip was the hightlight of our tout in New Zealand. I think we paid just 400USD a person for what turned out to be a 2 day private, guided tour. There was another couple with a guide as well. We pitched our gear at the hut and summited. The guide hadn’t actually summited the rock peak before, only the snow. I was happy to belay and hit the top with him!

I took a hundrea photos of the glacier, but caught a special picture of the helicopter pulling Lydia Bradey off the mounatin after a few days training…
