Week 11th - 15th January 2019
This trip will be an extension of the Tararua trip or a standalone option. After gathering at Blenheim we travel up the Awatere River to the Hodder River junction where we leave our vehicle/s. There is then a 6- 7 hour walk up the Hodder via a gorge section (reputedly with over 100 crossings by some accounts). We reach the two Hodder huts and use them as a base for 3 days in which we aim to summit Mount Tapuae o Uenuku at 2885 metres the highest mountain north of Mount Cook National Park.
Another possibility is a climb of Mount Alarm (2877 metres). Both are considered "tramping peaks" without the need for technical climbing skills. As there may be remnant snow or ice we will carry crampons and ice-axes.
