I recently had a great few days climbing around Queenstown and Wanaka. Unfortunately i dropped my camera whilst rappelling down from the Lake Alta slabs, up on the Remarkables ski field. I watched in bemused horror as it clattered down the slab, eventually coming to rest 50 metres below me. The body escaped in one piece, but batteries and SD card were nowhere to be found. Oh well, easy come easy go.

No photos, obviously. Instead, here’s some photos of the beloved Mitsuca, and one of the wire which saved me from a potentially nasty fall in Wanaka a few days later.
