2. Tramping and mountaineering in New Zealand
  3. Haast Pass to Mount Cook

Mount Barth, 26-27 January 2013

On our last trip to Canyon Creek http://ninadickerhof.smugmug.com/TrampingandmountaineeringinNew/Haast-Pass-to-Mount-Cook/Canyon-Creek-and-Pt-1862m-27/26203906_rPKm7D#!i=2179978188&k=txqLDFc), bad weather and high avalanche risk prevented us from climbing Mt Barth. Now, three months later we came back to climb it via the fun East Ridge in perfect conditions. Descent was via the South Face. Team: Lorraine Johns, Simon Bell, Marta Scott, James Thornton & Nina Dickerhof
