Mikonui-Galena Ridge, 6-9 April 2012

This year's Easter weekend saw us exploring some true Westcoast Country. Day 1: Mikonui River to Dickie Spur Hut. Day 2: Dickie Spur Hut to Top Tuke Hut. Day 3: Top Tuke Hut to Healy Spur via Galena Ridge. Whiteout conditions made navigation difficult and we were forced to spent a night camping on the ridge without water. Day 4: We made our way to Healy Spur Hut and out to the Mokonui. Party: James Thornton and Nina Dickerhof
