Back from a trip on Aspiring. The weather did not play the perfect game and we ended up extending a day as we could not fly out when we wanted too but on the bright side we managed to summit. Great views on the way up but the weather did turn again for the descent making interesting conditions on the rocky ridge.
Other parties on the Ramp of Aspiring
We had a busy summit day with 2 other parties also climbing the same route.
Summit, Mt Aspiring
We still manage to get a view from the summit but the cloud was coming in and out.
The rocky descent of the full NW ridge
We had hope to fly out the same day as summitting but instead had a quick 9hr (25km) walk down the valley to the car the next day and thus late finishing.
The guys are already talking about another trip in the future so must have short memories about the walk in and out (no flights due to the wx).
