These mountains were indeed so, probably one of the favorite camps we've done in the world. And thanks, I wasn't sure if people like it since most good videos have more of just a teaser clip. I also just like large title screens. lol.
Yea, the uphill can seem daunting but the overall distance covered isn't that long. So it's over faster than you think if you keep a steady pace and just concentrate on a step at a time. Especially with a backpack, don't worry about others. The Kea were super cool and I was surprised they let me come so close. But then again, they don't have any natural predators there so they don't have reason to fear us. In fact they get pretty aggressive toward anything plastic and rubber like, such as tents if they are left unattended.
@@travel2walk that’s a great philosophy. I find that one step at a time approach especially helpful when things are steep or scramble or even a little sketchy! Did you carry ice axes and crampons etc?
@@TrailOff Yea, I think New Zealand has some of the sketchier routes I've seen. No Ice axe or traction for this hike, there was only one small section of snow last year when we went. But check with the DOC.
Those mountains looks incredible!! I also love your audio in the intro, I can tell you put a lot of time and thought into that!

This is incredible guys! Thanks for sharing the amazing views!
It was definitely among my favorite campsites I've ever stayed at. And no problem, let me know if you have any questions about getting there.
@@travel2walk of course thanks so much!
This looks like such a hard yet rewarding route! I love the Kea!
