Our walk in Arthur's Pass National Park, in
the form of dialogue excerpts.
"Hey, let's go on this 6-8 hour walk up
the side of the mountain and back down"
...
"Before I give you that guide, I have
to ask... Do you have crampons and ice axes?"
...
"We've not had much snow this winter,
so you should be able to get up to the edge of the bush line and back down, but
stick to the paths and be sensible."
...
"You know how we said we were going up
the side of the mountain? I didn't think it would be this much up."
...
"oo there's snow!" "oo
there's a pretty view!" "oo more snow" "oo another pretty view"
"oo the snow is getting deeper"
...
"Getting up this track is pretty
slippy, but I think getting down will be even worse. But that's a problem for
after a cheese sandwich."
...
"10/10 lunch spot"
...
"There's no snow on the rock ledges,
let's climb higher"
...
"That's the top just there... oh
wait..."
...
"We're almost at the edge of the bush
line...oh wait..."
...
"I don't think the views will get any better
if we climb any higher."
...
"Yeah, I was going to suggest a
controlled slide down."
...
"These bridges were near the start,
right?"
...
"I'm bored of going downhill"
...
"You know how we were going to climb up
to that waterfall afterwards. I don't think I can be bothered."
...
"Those bridges weren't near the
start."
...
"Yay, the bottom. Let's just have a
kitkat"
...
"You should definitely go to the
waterfall viewing platform, it's only 20 minutes!"
...
"You know when I said I couldn't be
bothered to climb to the waterfall. I was right."
...
"Ok. It was worth it."
