Sheer hard work & determination!
Says Julie Burton, Bathurst, Australia
Julie Burton has a been a long term client and friend of Aspiring Guides. A keen canyoner and speleologist ("caver"), she's been on many a mountain adventure with us over the years, including an ascent of Mt Aspiring. Her next challenge was always to climb Aoraki Mt Cook. But earlier this year she faced her greatest challenge. Julie was seriously ill and underwent major surgery in April.
All through the ordeal, she focussed on one goal..."making it to the top of NZ". A punishing fitness regime and sheer determination, saw Julie make a speedy recovery and have enough stamina to make the physically demanding climb in 18 hours!
Congratulations to Julie. While canyoning and caving will always be her first love, we think she's got a lot more "up" to go in the future! Peru 2014 with us... is next in her sights.
