Awesome 5days on the Mountain at Temple Basin Learning how to self arrest followed by building anchors, Multi pitching and snow caving. Stayed at the lodge for the first few nights then on the last night built snow caves and slept in them. The afternoon before snow caving consisted of more self arresting which was heaps of fun and then we went on to learning how to set up anchors then climbed off them up the mountain multi-pitching. Reached the top of the mountain to see an amazing view of the Southern Alps. The last day we packed up but before leaving we worked on transeivers and probing then headed back down the mountain. Had a really good time and couldn't have asked for better weather.
