well Simon has been nagging me to update this so here goes..
we got 60cm of new snow three weeks ago and finally all the off piste terrain opened up. It was awesome!! we hiked the toilet bowl and shutes untill we could barely stand.
I went hiking with Isaac my buddy up tobins track and he came night Skiing with Aaron and I on the friday. we worked on jumps and drop offs and all had an excellent time.
Then I went up north working for a couple of weeks.
While I was up there I made good use of the time and got to catch up with my family and Aarons. Emily and Regan met me in the Waikato for some climbing at Wharepapa. The company was great.I was hoping to try and Climb Dionysis 24 but I got spanked on a 20( and almost an 18! so gave that idea up.
back home now and have had visitors every day..Hello dan, paul and Greg.
We got a helicopter ride into the wye valley ice and bolted a new mixed route..I think we might call it Nut cracker since Aaron had an unfortunate incident where he tipped upside down when he fell off and the rope got him you know where. we managed to get the heavy gear back inthe chopper and walked out down the Valley (4 hours!) the ice has got warm and has big cracks so that will be the last of the ice climbing for the season. it snowed overnight though so hopefully we will get a little more snowboarding before summer is fully here.
