Annette Plateau
Aoraki NP ● 5 – 7 Jan 2024
A consolation trip after failing to make it to the Garden of Eden. Highlights included
- watching and hearing icefalls from a campsite by Mueller hut,
- a scary ascent (and scarier descent) of Kitchener,
- an extremely brief swim on the Annette Plateau,
- roping up on the Metelille glacier, and
- watching sunrise from Mt Annette.
And I even found time to take a photo of everything in my pack for Wilderness Magazine.
