We can see the Remarkables every day so today we said lets climb to the top. (We drove to the ski station - cuts out a lot of unnecessary walking!) It was a real scramble up and down. Once you get there you realise the remarkables are just one big pile of rocks and sometimes you wonder what is holding some in place!
On the way up we were using our hands and feet to scramble along the arete. At the top we had a quick lunch stop but could see the cloud moving in so kept going. The picture shows Kate inbetween single and double cone. Think it shows the scale and angle of what we were doing! From the middle of the picture we went down the couloir, this time using our hands, feet and our bums - obvious by the large rips in Charlies shorts!
It was a great mission, double cone next as we decided to save that one for another trip...
