Thread: Nina Valley, Lewis Pass Plan B

Hi all, I am going to Lewis Pass next week for a two night trip and have been reading up on the tops from past threads here.

I have a question though about the Nina valley itself - I have spikes and poles but no crampons - if the tops are out of my comfort/skill range I was thinking to stay at Nina hut for the two nights and hunt from there as plan b.

Does anyone have any tips or experience on hunting the Nina valley? Away from the track of course, I was thinking of hunting up and down Duchess Stream and some of the flats in the valley.

If anyone has any back up ideas for if the tops are out of action due to weather/equipment/skill then I'm keen to hear!

Cheers
