This weekend, I went into the East Matukituki with a small group, with the aim of climbing Sisyphus Peak. We enjoyed good weather, and amazing views for the entire trip.On saturday, we had planned to head up to Wilmot Saddle, at 1682 metres. We found a nice campsite around 1500 metres, however, so decided to settle in for a relaxing night. The more enthusiastic of the group were up at 5am on Sunday to tackle the climb up Sisyphus. It was an exciting scramble through the dark to Wilmot Saddle, and then a short but steep climb up Sisyphus, where we were treated to sunrise over the Aspiring ranges, and fog spewing out from the Volta Glacier. Heading back down to the carpark afterwards, an impressive rainbow formed over Rainbow Stream. I’m assuming it’s a common occurrence.
