Mueller Hut Route

Well, last weekend I tramped around Mt. Cook — the highest mountain in the southern hemisphere(?!). Me, Rainer and three of his mates got up early, to drive to Mt. Cook Valley. From there we tramped up to 1800 meters or so. The last part is an alpine track, so plenty of snow and of course no trees (no log burner, must be chilly during winter). The weather was again great!
Two of our mates were quite fast at the start and we lost them out of sight. But they took a wrong turn and ended up reaching the hut 1,5 hours later than we did…
One of the toilets was fully full full, the other almost (85%). The funny thing about them was, that they had two departments, one for number 1 and the other for number 2 :)
On the way back, the next day, we could slide down the snow: Bum sliding, very cool.
