Hi all, don't want to be a "doomsayer" but I thought I'd post this for your information. There have been 3 (non-fatal) accidents on Mt Cook in the last 48 hours. Some news articles about this are here, here, and here. From the third article: Police and Department of Conservation staff said that in all three incidents the climbers were well equipped, but "in the wrong place at the wrong time". DoC head of rescues Grant Prattley warned climbers not to over-extend themselves. Some good advice... take care out there people!
