Thank you, enjoyed ! What was your thinking on day 1, when you turned and came back to base ? The weather was perfect, why not stay up the mountain, and summit the next day ? This is only a cutesy question, with absolutely no weight on it. As I am totally unexperienced. Just after your take. Once again, great video ⛏⛏❄❄

Hey mate. does this track have a name, what’s the best way to get there? Also what’s the best time of year for these same weather conditions? Cheers

It’s begins from the Tasman Lake car park, then take the Ball Hut Route, once you arrive at Ball Hut it is just essentially wilderness so need to find your own way (and have the associated skills to mitigate the risks of that environment- lots of rock fall, glacier travel etc etc)

Guys, what conditions do you expect if that was horrendous snow? 5cm for skinning and what, 15cm-25cm for walking? How much better do you need it? You either ski in snow or on ice, either way you will have a bit of something, won't you? Sorry, a bit disappointed with the moaning about what I would say are amazing conditions....NZ or not

Great real adventure. Congratulations for the success as planned. Do as much as you possibly can in the great Southern NZ mountains and wherever else in the World. Life is short. I know it in reality. I am now 80 years old and re member, with pleasure my 5 months climbing season in NZ way back in 1971. I wish you alll a great life.

I’m a climber from the PNW in USA, wife and I had our first kid recently so I’m taking some time off climbing for dad life (until the little dude can rope up). I stumbled on your channel and absolutely love your videos and all the vids from NZAT, awesome stuff, keeping me pumped during the change of pace! Will have to visit your Southern Alps, reminds me a lot of climbing in our North Cascades. Thanks for posting mate, keep it going!
