Sunrise Hut 6-7 August
Saturday, 06 August 2016
There was a little snow at the road end
Triple X had a lot of snow too
So did the track. It got heavier as we climbed
We made Sunrise, but the snow was very deep
So we diverted towards the toilet and used the path from there to the hut
Queen Elisabeth and Tony attempting to get wood from the wood shed
12 hours is a long time to have to hold on
We met Tara and Ava - they were loads of fun
Marian heading to the back of the hut
Sunday was a beautiful day
Heading back to the car park
Steve and I took a wrong route
Took us ages to climb out
There was heaps of windfall due to the heavy snow
Climbing over the windfall
We came across the very rarely seen Ruahine Snow Bear
Looking back at the snowy tops
