Glacier travel on the Linda Glacier route for Mt Cook.

Training climb on Glacier Dome, not far from Plateau hut, for the Mt Cook attempt

Getting ready very very eary morning

The latest ascents trip to Plateau hut for an attempt on  Mt Cook last week got aborted just below the summit rocks. It was one of those moments to think the mountain will still be there and so will the climbers to have another go. Conditions for climbing Mt Cook via the Linda Glacier are deteriorating very quickly with all this fine , hot weather.
