Local farmers check for Mnt. Aspiring summit for lost sheep

Local Station owner Philip Haas, owner of Matukituki Station and two of his farm managers recently topped out on Mnt. Aspiring with Aspring Guides.  Here Philipp is pointing out "his valley".  It was a real treat to have these guys with us since they know many of these mountains better than anyone.  They wore the same boots that they wear to work every day! They all agreed that it would be a tough place to muster.


Mount Aspiring the hard way!

Guide Jo Haines recently completed a rare circumnavigation of Mount Aspiring via the Volta Glacier.

Check out her blog here  johaines.smugmug.com.  Nice work Jo, wicked trip!

We love this type of trip, unfortunately there are few clients for this sort of thing.  If you like hard travel and want to see something different just give us a call and you will make some guide very happy!
