Freda du Faur- 100 years- ascent of Aoraki 5-Nov-2010 At 9:31:05 AM vwills

Climb Du Faur Peak to Celebrate Freda!

Jane Morris, who works for DOC at Mt Cook, has agreed to lead a posse of women on a climb of Du Faur Peak (grade 1+/2) as part of the Freda Du Faur Centenary Celebrations.

Freda made the first ascent of Du Faur Peak in 1912. The peak lies above the Hooker Glacier between Mt Footstool and the Copland Pass.

The climb is a two day trip and will take place on the 27th/ 28th November.

Jane will not be 'guiding' the climb- any women interested must be capable of looking after themselves on a grade 2 alpine climb and must have all their own equipment.

If you are interested in participating in this climb, contact Pat in the first instance. Places are limited.
