Mount Avalanche, 6 - 7 March 2010
A fun climb up a beautiful mountain. On Saturday, we walked up the West Matukituki Valley, past French Ridge Hut to the Quarterdeck. After a quick detour to take in the views from the top of Mt French, we set up camp on the Bonar Glacier. Spectacular! On Sunday, we enjoyed a pleasant climb on the west ridge of Mt Avalanche then walked back to the car park. Party: Aaron Whitehead, Jaz Morris, Nina Dickerhof, Danilo Hegg
