    Epic video. I’ve only done the Kepler up to Mount Luxmore and back. I’d love to go through with a bit of snow like you did. Kea are such amazing birds, they’re very clever. Word is that they’re about as intelligent as a two year old child, or the average ten year old Australian.

    Hey Jesse, great video! I’m thinking of doing this next week but am a little hesitant to do it if there’s a lot of snow. How easy was it to follow the track with snow?

    • @JesseStLouis
      @JesseStLouis  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Was pretty easy because of the trail markers. Definitely check avalanche conditions with DOC and bring appropriate gear.

      @@jamesscott1935 it also depends on the freezing level and whether you will need crampons and and ice axe (and know how to use them). If things are too icy on the tops Hollyford Track is a good alternative as it is lower elevevation. September would be more prone to avalanches due to snow accumulation over winter.

      @JesseStLouis  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No permits or applications, the huts are first come first serve so need to buy the Hut tickets at a DOC office and might need Plb, crampons, ice axe, avalanche gear/ training if conditions require it. We were lucky to be there for the first snow of the season so luckily none of that was necessary. Good route finding ability also is good when the track is covered in snow. You will love it!
