    Thanks for the video. I was thinking about doing a similar hike the other way. St Arnaud up the Travers valley over to West Sabine hut over the Waiau Pass to Lake Guyon Hut and then over Fowler Pass. After seeing how steep Waiau Pass is, I think I will have to revise my plans unless I get in a lot better shape. I think I will just on the Canterbury side of the pass. I love the area between St. James and Molesworth Station. What time of year was this?

    • @TheHi_King
      @TheHi_King 2 місяці тому

      Thanks for watching! Waiau Pass definitely surprised us with how steep it was. Normally though that snow section would be a scree slope which would be much easier to descend from your end. But it was present when we went, thus we ended up rock climbing around it. This was almost a year ago exactly I believe. So residual snow can be found on the South facing side of the pass into those early summer months.

    Fiji is also an extremely dangerous country my brother. Crime rate is too high. And not just petty crime, I am talking robbery with violence, rape, assault and even murder. Their citizens don't even feel safe in their own country. Lots of scammers and people trying to rip off tourists. Do exercise caution when you visit Fiji next time. I lived in Fiji for 44 years. Extremely fortunate that I migrated from Fiji.

      This was just shot on an iphone 8 plus! I really want to upgrade to a nice go pro in the future. Thanks heaps for watching. Mueller Hut would get crazy in summer that is for sure. Especially with day walkers. It was already hectic as hell in April. Nice at the hut though once the day walkers have left and the evening calms down. Surprisingly enough the avalanches on the other side of the valley were going off about once every hour. Lucky to get my phone out in time though. Have you been to Mt Cook National Park?

Another 3-4 months planned next NZ summer, and this time I aim to head to the SI. Passing 3 months in the NI was very easy to do though - excellent tramping in the Ruahines, Tararuas, Whirinaki etc. Bits of the TA...I had a fantastic time. I haven't been to the Mt Cook area for years but your video reminded me just how good it is! Keep the videos coming...they provide real inspiration! Jeff

      @@jeffc1604 That's awesome to hear! I am the opposite to you in that sense. I have not really done much tramping in the North Island other than a bit around Tongariro. Would love to get into the Tararua's. I got some friends in Upper Hutt so I might have to try tee up a trip that way. I would love to do the South Island section of the TA. Been looking at planning for that for maybe 2026 if I can swing the time off. South Island definitely has some magical scenery. Let me know if you want any recommendations for good walks but it sounds like you know a fair bit about NZ anyway. Thanks for the motivation to keep posting! I love making these videos mainly for my friends and family but it's nice to see others get something out of them too.

      We almost ended up with the search and rescue to be honest haha. Our original plan was to go to blue lake hut and then go back over the pass but the presence of snow made descending too challenging for the girls. So we were left with no option but to hightail it for St Arnaud by Wednesday or risk someone’s parents calling search and rescue. Hence why we made a journey that normally takes 3-4 days in two.
