Mt Te Kohurau

Sunday 23rd August 2015
Early start at 7am with 10 on the trip, Robbie, Maurice, Ross, John, Jane, Jane, Rodney & Helen, Tim & Noel. It was great to have Rodney & Helen Meiklejohn travel up from Dunedin and Tim met the troops at Kurow.
We lset out from the bottom gate at the Ski Field in perfect conditions. We followed the ridge all the way to the top and when approaching the snow, Jane Green and Helen tried crampons for the first time. Unfortunately the snow was very soft but they learned to walk in crampons in soft snow and across rocks. The views of Mt Cook and Aspiring were very clear, not a cloud in the sky. We had lunch at the top whilst taking in the views. We returned via the same route back to the cars. Some chose to stop at Kurow for icecreams. A great day had by all.
