- A 7 day transalpine tramping trip in the New Zealand Southern Alps near Hokitika on the West Coast. Trip was to Cedar Flats Hut - Yeats Ridge Hut - Mungo Hut - Bluff Hut - climb of Gerard Peak at the head of the Mathias - Frew Saddle Biv - out the Whitcombe Valley. We were the first people in the Mungo valley for ~4 months and found some new slips that made things a bit more interesting!
Some serious alpine skills needed there for some bits! I see from Yeats Ridge to Mungo over the tops looks like an unmarked route requiring ice axe, crampons and a good eye for navigating.
That looked tough, great to see you both smiling to the end. Can’t be many routes that are more challenging than that.
I'll likely never get to these places again, but every moment of this made my heart sing. The terrain, the huts, the colours, the bush and rivers - it was all so very familiar. Well done and thank you for bringing me a glimpse of something so authentic!
Thanks so much for the lovely comment Philip. It is fantastic country, where nature is still in full control!

Great video of what looks like an awesome tramp

That's a fantastic route, epic
What an adventure! Great video
Sweet video Tom!
What were the dates of this trip? I'm thinking of doing a similar route in November and wondering how similar the conditions over commodore ridge might be.
This was in late November 2020. I hope you do make it in there!
Epic!!!
