Tararua Southern Main Range 22-25 April
Saturday, 22 April 2017
Looking up at Dennan and Bridge peak
Looking back at Otaki Forks
Our destination the following day...the southern main range
Heading towards the Tararua Peaks
Lots of climbing on this trip
Climbing climbing climbing
Making our way onto the ladder
The ladder is at the end of this rope
Followed by Queen Elisabeth
The 'v' centre is where we'd come from
We are the Borg...resistance is futile
Sunset as we climbed Aokaparangi
Almost at the top of Aokap
It was cosy to say the least
Looking at the eastern Tararuas
Climbing back up to the top of Aokap the next day
The only steep bit on Aokap
Into the goblin forest before Andersons hut
Looking back at Kahiwiroa
Girdlestone (L) Mitre (R)
Descending into the bush. Otaki Forks in the distance
Ken (was walking Te Araroa)
Was fun climbing around it
