last few days I'm traveling again on the streets of New Zealand. This time it's just as much as possible to see the South Island in 10 days. The first stop was at Mount Cook, the highest mountain in Australia you Neuss and Eland. Presumably it is the coldest since the night of arrival, it had around 15 degrees - minus mind you. Pretty cold in my sleeping bag, but fortunately I now own two. But difficult is not so much the sleeping rather than getting up and peel out of the sleeping bag. After that night I felt a bit uneasy if the project the next day. The program of the ascent was a hut in the middle of eternal ice. While there is not Mueller Hut on Mt Cook, but at least on a foothill and as many in just under 2000m. With ice ax and crampons the rise although not easy but after all was accomplished in just under five hours. At the top I was met complete silence surrounded by stunning icy landscape, interrupted only by the recurrent Lawienenabgängen throughout the area. In addition, the trip took two findings: First, it can on the mountain much less cold than in the valley. And second, is a pack liner, an oversized Mülletüte, protecting the inside of the backpack from rain, also suitable for rapid descent. Simply put in and off you go down the mountain. Bring at least double the fun slide, but only as long as the snow is soft ;-)
