Thread: Fiordland question

Looking more carefully we went up right on the boundary with the Billy burn block. It's a nice traverse along the very razorback ridge between them, typical Fiordland ridge, you take your time in places! We got beaten in the arete just below the "94" on your last picture, we were late May, no new snow but the arete had an icy bridge across it, I got across kicking steps with two rifle barrel self arrests (sorry Mauser Kurz) but the guys I was with watched in horror and decided it wasn't worth proceeding. So we went back the way we'd come.
