Heading to New Zealand in mid December so I'm looking for advice/recommendations on the following:
Climbing in the Queenstown / Wanaka region. Most likely going to be limited to a sport rack & rope, could take some trad gear if need be. Looking for areas with mid range grades.
2-3 day easy-moderate hikes in the same regions (and maybe also the Mt Cook region).
From what I can gather the hut system looks pretty comprehensive so does that negate the need to carry a tent one or is it still recommended to carry one as a precaution?
