"Good days walk, snow starting to gather and Ice axe was required but walking poles would have been sufficient.
In the saddle between Foggy and Castle Hill the wind was extreme. Further up on the ridge line the wind occasionally blasted ice in your face (now i know what sand blasting feels like)" — Pughie • May 22, 2022
"Straightforward climb. Some steep scrambling on SW ridge of Gloriana peak. Had to be careful avoiding bluffs descending into camera gully on true left side.
Bush bashing through beech forest coming up from Ada pass and descending through camera gully. " — AidanAstwood • Apr 4, 2022
"Easy climb up Avalanche peak track, followed by a scramble across to Goldeney Glacier to reccy Mt Rolleston. Descent was via Rome ridge and the Coral track. Good weather all day and I got to see a few Keas." — Toastinski • Mar 18, 2022
"Walked up and down standard Warnock's bluff route. Steep 100m scramble on the way which is more tricky descending. Satisfying rock scrambling up the top.
Tramping route in summer conditions, entry level mountaineers route in winter conditions. " — AidanAstwood • Mar 15, 2022
"Perfect weather to start the day, till the clouds climbed out of the valley cutting visibility to about 100m for the last 2/3 of the walk. Made it as far of the gap and got some cool pictures. :)" — Toastinski • Feb 11, 2022
