fly in from the west coast for sure!!!! its twice the price (literally) for a chopper from MCV to pioneer. also your much more likely to get in from fox. and if the weather is crapping out you can walk down to chancellor and give yourself better odds of getting out! theres a NZAC hut which is quite pleasant at fox. if u can id really recommend hiring a car. just means your guaranteed to get something done! if the weathers bad at X just hightail it over to Y etc etc! if you do fly out to MCV smile sweetly and try and get your pilot to fly down the hooker, amazing!!
