Ice and Mixed climbing in the Remarkables, Queenstown

I went down to Queenstown for some ice and mixed climbing in the Remarkables. It was a great opportunity to catch up with old friends as well. We had some misty weather on the first day, but still had a fun day of climbing.

Me and the great view!

The next day we woke to a fantastically clear beautiful day. We plodded up the sides of the ski field to Queen's drive at the back of the remarkables. Our climb for the day was called 'Saturday morning special'. Quite appropriate for a Saturday morning! Our climb was three pitches, and we topped out with a fantastic view of the Southern alps.

It was a great weekend and it was a lot of fun climbing with a great group of people.
