Hi Abel what a climb Awesome Beautiful gorgeous Scenery 😊

I'm well jell ,what a beautiful place ,thankyou for sharing .

Just got to catch up on some of your older videos Abel. Wow, now that’s a high hike and camping experience. A little nerve wracking to watch the wind during the night for you. You do push yourself to the limit but at least you keep yourself safe and know your limits so that’s good to see and you really appreciated your very scenic experience up there on that mountain which makes it all worth it for you. Thanks again.

Thanks for showing us the route Abel as it gives a good idea what to expect. We're due to grovel our way up there next week for our 8th anniversary. The ridge route was unrelenting and hard on my toes last time so we'll opt for the Blue Ck track up to the junction. You did well to get up to your campsite in one day, and great to see you with a lighter 8.5kg. pack. So satisfying to summit! I hope viewers appreciate all the back and forth required to film this.

Fantastic trip. I appreciate your cinematography skills. For your cramps I recommend a homeopathic product called "Cramp Stop - beat the camp monster" available at chemists in the Nelson area. Spray under the tongue and it stops any kind of cramp in seconds. I also recommend you take some electrolytes in your drinking water like salt, potassium, magnesium and calcium. Keep up the great work.

Does it have to be in the camping spot by a hut or where it is specifically marked as a camping area on the map, or are you allowed to do it along any trail where there is a comfortable, safe place to pitch a tent?
