Man, the two years I spent working and climbing in "N Zed" really opened my eyes. Then I saw a picture of El Cap and knew what was next...

So that's what it look likes in sunshine! There is a tiny grimy hut up there that will always have a fond place in my memory when we took shelter from a torrential sleet storm before abandoning our plans and returned to the car.
Great place.

Thanks Jim, One of the first articles I read about climbing was in National Geographic. It was about your first ascent of Torre Egger with Jay Wilson and John Bragg. (I hope I've got those names right)

You can consider yourself very unlucky "TradEddie" to miss out on one of the three fine days a year we get down here.

Nice work Adam. Did a lot of climbing up at Temple Basin from 1981-84.

The terrain has more in common with Argentina and Peru than BC.
As for the weather in NZ, it greatly depends on where you choose to go, some good, some bad. (In other words typical mountain weather)
I don't think there's a Mt Proboscis in NZ.
Thanks for your comments Bruce.
Cheers!

NZ's Glaciers are receding but that's the extent of my knowledge.

Thanks Adam, I remember doing a truly terrible route on the right hand side of the main buttress in the winter of 1984... Never again.

hey there, say, Avery... say, thanks for the really nice photo-trip share, here...
also, i loved that shot, looking down on the river...
i love rock, but say, i sure love rivers, too...
well, yeah, and trees, and clouds, and on and one, we go, ;))
you know what i mean:
good river shots, cutting their trails, adds some spunk to
any photo session, or any view from trail, :)

Thanks Bruce.
Bubba said he had a terrific time in NZ. I must admit I don't know the Darran's too well. All the same, it's a pretty unique environment.
Couldn't agree with you more about "Climbing magazine", it's a shadow of it's former self.

Great stuff, Kakapo. I did a lot of climbing at the "Pass" in the 80's. A long, long time ago.
