Looking at the West face of Glacier Peak. The mountain has been down wasting quite a lot however early season conditions are still allowing access through the lower shrund. This access on climbers left may well collapse in the coming weeks as higher temperatures and rainfall open / collapse the Bergshrunds

A great day out with spring touring conditions in tge Gamack range - Mt Cook National Park. A timely reminder about potential spring hazards with a size 4 avalanche running in the recent past out of the steep terrain in the region we were in. The cause? Likely heavy rain loading of a isothermic snowpack that failed to ground Our final Ski Mountaineering Course has wrapped for the 2020 season. We finished with a fine display...

Epic conditions post storm at The Grand Plateau with 40cm of non wind effected powder. We kept it conservative on this particular day - with a freezing level rapidly rising to 3000m it paid to keep things relatively low angle with low consequence Ski Mountaineering through some epic terrain - exploring Cinerama Col, Mt Cook National Park.

This large rock avalanche fell from the crux step on Silberhorn and onto the Grand Plateau of Aoraki Mt Cook at Approx 1pm on 31st Dec 2020. Had anybody been walking back from a Aoraki Ascent there would have been no way to avoid it. Thankfully nobody was injured and the debris field did not reach Plateau Hut. In this image you can see Mt Vancouver in tge upper Linda Glacier also showing signs of rock instability. As our climate warms and we lose more ice our mtns become more unstable
Take care in 2021 and beyond. Climb safe - come home

As a fairly straightforward climb you can easily expect to do this route in approx 6-7 hours from pioneer hut ( condition dependant )
