Pre-positioned with AJ to Arthurs Pass on Wednesday night. Alpine start, got away at 4am and was at the tree line just as the first hint of dawn began. There was a beautiful freeze to stabilise the recently unstable snowpack, so we made good time in perfect crampon conditions. Sunrise was pretty sweet..
Summitted at 7am, continued on for the Avalanche pk traverse, but after descending the Nth Ridge, cloud began to roll in and the snow began to soften alarmingly quickly..
Descended back to AP for a great big pie :)
