Thread: Anyone here climbed Cook?

I did a solo there (think idiot) 15yrs back, and nearly DID die, that mountain takes no prisoners, the conditions change soo fast. Just look at how many have died just beyond the car-park ! Snowed-in for 9 days, and there was NO indicator that it was coming, other than that I saw the storm winding its way through the peaks BELOW me.... I surfed gravel-slides and literally ran where I could, I believe I hold the Descent-record. Dont do it without professionals...just my 2c-worth..
