Tararua Main Range 3-6 January
The river was up which meant Gable End (groan)
It was muddy
We got a brief glimpse of the tops from the hut
The next day the mud continued
Almost at the top of Pukematawai
Exit stage right down the main range
Park River
Into the goblin forest
Looking back at Pukematawai in cloud (Arete at back)
Drac Hut
Looking south towards Nichols (left) and Crawford (centre back)
Marcia found a friend
Starting the climb onto Nichols
Nichols Hut
Crawford is such a beautiful mountain
The view was amazeballs
As was the sunset
Climbing up to the junction between north and south main ranges
Can you see Marcia on the right on the hill?
Leaving Anderson Memorial Hut day 3
Looking up at Aokaparangi
Maungahuka Hut is just under the hill top (C). Tararua Peaks poking out on the right
