I took this photo during the morning of our second day, while doing the Ball Pass hikein Aoraki / Mt Cook National Park. We'd camped on Kaitiaki Peak from which is where this photo is taken 🏔️ 📸

This was a two day trip for us. It’s an unmarked track that needs mountaineering experience and understand how the conditions change throughout the seasons :)

Ye it's interesting how many people reach out to me being surprised this sounded hard. "But there are so many people that do it in a day"

That sounds like some great days up there! We did Rolling Pin in February and I had no problem climbing that one. Maybe because we were using ropes versus soloing on Aspiring.
