Hey bluerock, were you the guys that we met at Aspiring Hut (the ones who climbed Aspiring with Adventure Consultants?) ...we were there pretty much at the same time. It's no surprise to see so few climbers in the high mountains so far this last 2 weeks or so, the snow freeze level has been higher than 3-4,000 mts and the only thing people seem to be doing are rock routes (e.g. up Malte Brun, etc) ....unless snow conditions improve (i.e. get colder). Summer came with a force here in NZ Sth Island! :-) |
