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

Waa that green rope yours or was already there? Why they don't make an equipped path with chain?

I climbed for a month back in '89 (Cook,Tasman,Aspiring) and it only rained one day which happen while we were traveling on the bus to Aspiring. I guess you can say we lucked out on the weather. lol
That shot at 0:59 looked familiar, like I had seen it in an old blockbuster movie from 2002

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.

Lets go and burn tonnes and tonnes more Kerosene and fuck things up some more. The glacial retreat at Mt Cook is very obvious for to see and an obvious sign of climate change. Why do you still do this. Morons.

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!

Did you guys also do the 12 day Stewart Island/Rakiura circuit? if you haven't, I would thoroughly recommend it. Best to pace yourself through and do 1 hut per day. I wouldn't recommend skipping any huts because it's tough!

Did the Dusky from 1 to 11 march 1988. From West Arm (Lake Manapouri) to Dusky Sound, Dusky Sound to Lake Hauroko, Lake Hauroko back to West Arm. Total 12 days of hard and wet tramping, including 2 hutdays because of heavy rain. Great adventure, wish I could still do stuff like this !

hi, i'm really interested in getting into mountaineering but i'm not sure where to start. do you have any advice? i'm from melbourne australia if that helps
@nick_kowalski_film9 ай бұрын
If serious in the long term, I’d suggest you begin in your home town by building up good level of fitness and endurance, join a rock climbing club to learn some rope basics and then you could work towards a trip where you do a multi day mountaineering course. For example NZ alpine club offer these, but you will get the most bang for your buck if you’ve got a good base before attending. All the best 👍
