Mt Hickson/Jackson, 31 March-01 April 2012

Strenuous and spectacular weekend trip to Elcho Pass to climb the West Face of Mt Jackon. Day 1: Monument Hut to bivvy site on Elcho Pass. Day 2: Started climbing the West Face of Mt Jackson after unintentionally having climbed Mt Hickson on the way. Time constraints made us turn around a short distance from the summit followed by a long walk back out to Monument Hut. Back in Christchurch/Dunedin in time for breakfast and shower before work. Party: Aaron Whitehead, James Thornton and Nina Dickerhof
