Glacier climbing and more looking at NZ

---

Hey everyone

So since last blog i've climbed the steepest commercially guided glacie in the wold. Its was petty cool, well very cool... it was Ice. But it was fun wearing crampons and jumping about on the ice... an watching othe people be scared of falling over... and it was a bit of a worry at times mainly on the way down but, it was petty safe as you were wearing spikes there were a few times when you had to jump but with legs like mine it was more of a big step so, it was all fine.

Then after that i went to greymouth which is a pretty uninspiring place stayed there a night then came along on the trans alpine railway which was evey bit as stunning as it is supposed to be. now in christchurch i'll prob leave tomorrow as i'm coming back here in april with mum, dad and beck so, there doesn't seem much point in looking around too much and then lookin at it all again. So i'll just see whats going on an book things for tomorrow... think i'll head to hamner springs for a ay or so 2mo. Its suppose to be pretty cool.

Ne who you guys should have the benefit of having somepictures attached with this guy!!

Enjoy
