JAN-2000 7610' 1 Day NZ 12 Multi-Pitch
|
The Remarkables hang over Queenstown, NZ. This was one of many rock climbs Matt
Porter and I turned an Mt Cook summit attempt into, once the weather took us off of
our objective.
The rock is a beautiful grey schist with quartz veins. This climb had steep slabs with
corners, roofs and overlaps. There are a few cracks. The view from the summit was
remarkable, including Cook, Aspiring and Tasman.
Our route was Alpha up the Single Cone east face which involved 4+ pitches. Super
first multi-pitch rock experience for me.
