Tony summits...mini Peter!

Chris

Chris and Andrea lead us off the top of the Pass

Where we SHOULD have had our tea break!

The terrain off the Pass was incredibly steep - and included a fixed rope in one area

Are we there yet? On the way to George Lyon Hut

Morgan Hut track across the river bed

Robin

Morgan Hut, - we experienced two earthquakes that night

Sophistication exemplified

Our DOC man takes off...along with all of our washing!

Helena's brilliant location device

At the Rotoroa jetty with the eels

Someone was happy to finish!

Hairbrush, please! (And a shower...)
