Thread: Gear needed in April

I've been chasing tahr and chamois for 50 odd years, 35 years guiding. Have only ever used crampons twice in that time, once on the West Coast in a late may hunt, and once a mid winter hunt up the Rangitata. Always had them available while I was guiding, but really not much use if the wearer hasnt had any training in using them. If youre using crampons or an iceaxe in april, then your way too high for the tahr!
