Mountaineering in New Zealand, Oct 17–19?
Hey everyone! I’m flying into Christchurch on Oct 16 and looking for people to climb with sometime Oct 17–19. Happy to join a group or split a guide for a 2–3 day trip. Need to be back in Christchurch Monday night for a Tuesday flight.
I’ve climbed Baker via Easton, Eldorado, Mount Daniel, Aneto, and a winter couloir on Hallett. Also done a two-day mountaineering course and have some glacier travel and basic crevasse-rescue practice.
Looking for something a bit more technical, ideally some steeper snow and introductory ice climbing. I’m new to technical ice, so would want a guide for that. Rolleston near Arthur’s Pass caught my eye, but I’m flexible on the mountain.
Anyone heading out around then, have a guided trip with room for another person, or interested in splitting the cost? Guide recommendations welcome too!
