All right these are some backlogged posts. I’m bad at keeping this thing
current. But I have been effectively
told off, so there’ll be a flood of post for a bit. I’ll try to make more frequent/regular updates. This short first one details
events from the week of March 11:
It’s
a rather rare day that Haya Jamali shows up in New Zealand (actually it would
probably be quite frequent if Emily was sticking around; both Whitman kids for
those who don’t know) as such we honored the occasion by heading down to Mt.
Cook. It was a short trip (I
was skipping out on some work I probably should have been doing) and photos of
the area really better describe the place then I can. Suffice it to say that I’m stoked to go back there in
the spring to climb. It
reminded me of the North Cascades with sketchier rock and bigger glaciers. It was a good break from
preparing for my upcoming fieldwork. As always great to see people from home! After the trip was the usual hanging
around CHCH and making and eating good food before I headed up for round 1 of
sampling.
