This was one of the most action packed days of my life! Woke up at 5am to drive/hike/climb up a boulder and watch the sunrise with Kate. We then picked up Kat and Audra and headed for the Pass, only a 35 minute drive from Castle Hill. We got some maps and info at the iSite, then bundled up and took the Avalanche Peak trail...it was INTENSE...crazy waterfalls, steep sections, and no level or semi-level ground to the summit, at nearly 2000 meters. Insane views...awesome exposure. We had perfect weather, too. Took Scott's Track down the peak and ended up in the tiny town of Arthur's Pass Village...we got some great pub food, our first eating out experience all week. I took the night shift, driving all the way down to Mt. Somers that night. LONG, but epic day...pictures don't do it justice!
