The mist starts to clear in the Waimakariri Valley , revealing the amazing mountain above
Mark makes getting onto the swing bridge look awkward.
Gorge in the upper Wamakariri River
Yeh I don't think Mark realised how good the zoom was when he photo bombed this photo...
Brief night photography session at Waimakariri Falls Hut
Yeh needs a bit more snow still!
But at least the upper Waimakariri was frozen!
Topping out on the Col (although technically we went over the saddle West of the actual Col)

Selfie time!
Mark also makes the scree in the upper Rolleston look awkward, but in fairness it was exceedingly awkward terrain.
Further down the valley we found some great patches that hadn't seen the sun in days, Mark was clearly very happy about this.
At least happier than he was a few hours later when we were standing on the side of the road waiting for a ride...
Some maps of the adventure!
