My First Time Solo Mountaineering - Climbing Falling Mountain in Winter
Рет қаралды 968
Күн бұрынA 15 hour day in the Edwards valley of Arthurs Pass climbing Falling Mountain.
Starting from my car at Greyneys Shelter I crossed the Waimakariri and made my way up Edwards Valley. After stopping at Edwards Hut to change into boots, I continued up rhe valley to the base of Falling Mountain and began the climb. Ice axe and crampons soon came out and I was plodding through the snow towards the summit. After a brief break on top of Falling Mountain I began the descent, arriving back at my car in the dark. A total of 15 hours, 33km and 1825m of Vert.

You make it look so easy but I’m sure it’s not. Those views were worth the trip I bet. Thanks for the video, it must make a long day longer but we appreciate it. Stay safe out there.

I do worry a little bit about you Zeb, 12 hrs to hut was big enough but 15 and then driving might be pushing it but I do get it. I did 5x 15 hr hikes last year (mainly around the DC3 adventure) but mostly I had company. At least you’re not rusting out “camping in the rain” but instead doing some epic stuff for yourself 👏👏👏

Nice trip, mate. How have you found that bd speed 50 pack thus far? I've had one a number of years and am in the process of doing a review video on it.

Thanks Josh. Yeah it's pretty good. Nice and lightweight, I've loaded it up with 6 days of gear and it's carried alright. Great for overnight/day missions. Cheers
