Easter in the Garden of Eden

Climb up to Paradise! This Easter a group of us went up the Clyde River in Central Canterbury to the main divide and spent a few days camping there. After 4wding from Erehwon station up the river we spent a very cold night on the river bed and an early start got us up to a rock biv underneath the cascading ice of the main divide. The next morning we trudged up to the Perth col where amazing views of the Garden of Eden ice platuea awaited us. After tight rope walking on a crevasse edge we where down for a hot coffee before dark! More detail to come...
