on January 12, 2012Awesome trip, congratulations. I too see this peak all the time and still long to climb it!
Your photos are a great resource, cheers

on January 9, 2012Wonderful photos. Thanks for sharing. You were lucky with the weather. I got stuck up the head of Leader Creek for 6 days in 1970, and we were engulfed in a massive flood. I would like to discuss using one or two photos on my blog on my Great Grandfather James McKerrow who explored large parts of Fiordland. The blog is: jamesmckerrowsurveyor.blogspot.com
