If he started in Otaki and planned to finish at Holdsworth, that sounds more like a modified Southern Crossing.

The area between Arete, Lancaster and Mitre is not poled, hardcore terrain up there even in good weather...

@ebf, he went in from Levin, stayed at Arete bivvy, didn't leave entry in hut book but did text his partner he was heading to Holdsworth. few trampers doing Nth Crossing bypass Mitre and exit at Holdsworth. He left Arete biv on Thursday, snow was bad until late Saturday I think.
The Otaki Forks bit was usual Stuff reporting
