The first day at Avalanche peak was very hard. It was physicaly harder than anything I ever done. So imagine my surprise when the next day was harder. We went up the cass river which involved first some water in my shoes and then a climp up to a saddle that really took my breath. And what was left was taken by the wonderful view of the valley. At the end we reached our hut really late, almost in complete darkness. But the hut was great. Like a zimmer in the middle of everything. Now the next day was really hard, mainly due to the fact that I was at the end of my powers. We had a draw bridge, a draw wire (that you have to walk on to cross the river), a lot of mud and lovely forests. And again - the view is just amazing. At the end I was completely dead, but it's one hell of an experience. Next time it's four days straight, we'll see how that goes.
But that's three days from now. In the mean time, we are going to a wine festival in Blenhiem. The bus leaves like in half an hour, so that's it for now.
