Epic  Te Waipounamu Traverse

  • View Larger Image The guys enjoy a glimpse of the Gardens before heading for an alpine camp on the Frances Glacier, 500 metres on the eastern side of the Main Divide. It was to be one of our only glimpses of that hallowed ground.

In the rainy summer of 2016/2017, Allan Brent, Lydia McLean, Alexis Belton and Mark Leslie set out on an epic mission to traverse Te Waipounamu. Here is a taste of their journey, with captions by Alan Brent. The Te Waipounamu traverse was supported by an FMC Expedition Scholarship
