Cameron to South Ashburton, 26 - 27 November 2011

An excellent weekend tramp in the Arrowsmith Range. We walked up the Cameron River to near Cameron Hut, then climbed over unnamed peak 2238m, from where we descended onto the Ashburton Glacier. Walk out via the South Ashburton River and the saddle south-east of Wild Mans Hill. Party: Gwenn Le Mée, Anna Seybold, Danilo Hegg
