Mount Cook Glaciers Trek 🏔️🥾

A short weather window and scenic heli flight up to Plateau Hut set the tone for an unforgettable few days on the glacier. 🌤️🚁

Fresh off the skids, we headed out for crevasse skills — roping up, snow anchors, holding a fall. Then we headed out to explore the glacier and step inside a crevasse, its hidden ramp leading deep into the blue.

The following day, we climbed Glacier Dome, standing above the vast sweep of the upper glacier and its surrounding peaks.

Big terrain. Real skills. The kind of experience that will leave lasting memories. ❄️
