Well we started late. What with the morning rain and the show we wanted to see we got to base camp at 4.45pm and looked up the 4,500’ to the summit and said “yeah, we can do this”. Then, after climbing straight up for an hour we met some young and fit looking climbers coming down and they told us that it was a three hour climb up and a two hour climb down. We climbed for an hour and had spectacular views back down over Wanaka and its lake. Then a 45 minute walk down and a rush to the shop for food for dinner (paté and salmon) and a quick beer in one of the local bars.
