I had a weekend away with my friend Mel. We headed north to the Ahuriri and avioded the rain that hit Queenstown so it was perfect!
We stayed in a hut on the road end Friday night then Walked/ Scrambled to Mt St Mary via an alpine lake, down to snowy Gorge hut in the river valley, over 10-11 hours. The next morning it was only about 3 hours out but had a river crossing waist deep just before the car.
Map of where we went (stolen from Danilo Heggs site, as was the trip idea.)
Setting out. Melanie
At a lake about 1880m Mel is pointingto Mt st Mary( the pointy bit in the middle)
The scree slopes/ gully up to the summit were pretty chossy and loose.
