Good decision to stop at Deception. When they don't have time pressure or the threat of incoming bad weather, hikers seem to enjoy Goat Pass as much as I enjoy the videos. The Southern Rata seems to have been spectacular this year. Thank you for the continued sharing of your adventure.
Goat Pass is where one of our TAs 2017/18 from Italy - fell and broke her L arm. Compound breaks ×4. Carried on her TA with her husband to Klondyk Corner. Adrenalin had kicked in. They hitched a ride to Chch hospital. She went straight into surgery. We organised with them for her to return to us in Whangānui where she remained for 5 weeks recovering. Eventually she was reunited with her husband after a full recovery and knitted bones (tinanium pins) at Riverton where they walked together to the end at Stirling Point. They remain constant and forever friends. They still follow TA through my regular postings. Rata is stunning with the brilliant splash of crimson. Bush version of its cousin - Pōhutukawa. That is our claim to fame of Goat Pass. named a pathway in our garden after her - Gisela Pass which ascends to the Hut in our garden (Henry's Hut). Thanks for this 3 thirds section.
