I love the southern alps, here is a pic of the late and very great Guy Edwards on the summit of mt Cook that I later turned into a business card.
We also did a few others, something on Tasman, and one of the finest I have done, theYankee/Kiwi on the south face of Hicks.
Can't wait to go back some day.

What Avery, no photos of Caradhas and the Misty Mountains.
And I do believe they speak Elvish in New Zealand. Is that hard to learn?
I admit I follow Ireland first, then the USA, then Scotland then Wales (all of those are in in my heritage) but the All Blacks are awesome. (What's that got to do with climbing? Nothing.)

Unwin Lodge is a great place to use as a base for a few weeks in the Aoraki/Mt. Cook National Park.
Ski planes and helicopters can be somewhat reasonably priced if you are able to share the cost with a sightseeing tour that stops near the likes of Kelman Hut.
When the weather is too poor for going above the snow line, Cragging can be had on the Sebastapol Bluffs on the village rim. There's also a bit of bouldering near the monument to climbers who have died in the park. The YHA has a big selection of movies to watch. There is also a mini undercover bouldering wall behind where Alpine Guides use to be based. And the Hermitage staff gym is pretty good too.
If coming from abroad. Getting groceries in Christchurch was once way better than buying in Twizel. But Twizel seems to be improving each time I visit.
