@@NewZealandAlpineTeam thanks! Can't wait to see your next climbs!

[@russelldesilva1560]

Rookie question, did you ever need to remove your crampons because you ran out of ice? The crack climb looked like there was only ice on one face.

[@plurboy_eth]

Suggestible to take rope access training before going into alpinism?

[@NewZealandAlpineTeam]

Start with a basic mountaineering course focussed on ice axe, crampons, then take avalanche awareness, then take a rope skills course, with 2-4 mountaineering trps in between. indoor/outdoor rock climbing can be done in parallel

Didn't realise NZ climbing was so wild

[@NewZealandAlpineTeam]

NZ has some very wild climbing if you look in the right places - especially Fiordland!!
