My First Time Solo Mountaineering - Climbing Falling Mountain in Winter
A 15 hour day in the Edwards valley of Arthurs Pass climbing Falling Mountain.
Starting from my car at Greyneys Shelter I crossed the Waimakariri and made my way up Edwards Valley. After stopping at Edwards Hut to change into boots, I continued up rhe valley to the base of Falling Mountain and began the climb. Ice axe and crampons soon came out and I was plodding through the snow towards the summit. After a brief break on top of Falling Mountain I began the descent, arriving back at my car in the dark. A total of 15 hours, 33km and 1825m of Vert.
