More Nice ICE!!   

Waterfall Ice Climbing Course #2



The second of our ice-climbing instruction courses finished up this week.  While the Wanaka township languished under thick inversion cloud, our ice climbers, Michael Hall, Patsy Waibler, Graeme Pearson & Stephen Dolphin with Andy Cole, NZMGA enjoyed cold but sunny conditions on the Black Peak ice face.   


After a challenging day on the ice, this week's crew were able to return to the warm bunks of our private hut and the hearty cooking of Andy Cole!   Just right to restore energy levels.        


The weather map looks a bit of mess towards the end of this week.  As always, NZ Mountain conditions are always unpredictable.  Fingers crossed that we get some more precipitation and cold temperatures to keep that ice getting fatter and fatter!!
