Woke early and we had both remembered Valentine\u2019s Day! \ud83d\ude0d<\/p>\n

Today was a longer planned day which due to a navigation error was a lot longer than planned!<\/p>\n

After a good breakfast we all set off for what was billed a climb and Marina was due to meet us after 2 hours for a tea break. To cut a long story short we took the wrong turn at the hotel and headed up to the Ohau Ski Lodge. 1000m climbing over 8+ km of\u00a0zig zag path, very rough, and into cloud. \u00a0It was freezing at the top and we only realised after a phone call! \u00a0What a view however!\"FF81BD0E-3BB6-43F1-AB9A-F666D01A4922\"\"6DC105CF-853F-447C-B4D6-C2F607291226\"\"08CF0E6B-0CFA-44B0-B53F-ACC053A0FEC9\"\"04C43BF9-DA76-40FE-B628-A75F5B091EF8\"Vertical Ventures were very good and after and hours cycle down we were back were we started at about 12.45 having set off a 9 and were offered lunch at the Ski Lodge. \u00a0After some discussion we all decided to start again. \u00a0After a few minutes one of the Canadian\u2019s Judy decided she had no legs left and her husband, Bruce, also stopped.<\/p>\n

After 13km we reached the summit we should have reached.<\/p>\n
