Nihahi Ridge

An easy scramble / ridgewalk November 2, 2008.
Nihahi Ridge, +-2350m, 17km, +-800m gain. Fairly straight forward ridge-walking ending with a descent down Nihahi creek which was dry but provided a mini canyoneering adventure down the slippery polished rock creek bed. A cool start to the day but an uncharacteristic +16 by the time I got back to the truck.




Incidentally this was a reward to myself for finally finishing my revised CLD portfolio. The final push was a 13 hour day in the office on Saturday to finish the schedules and check everything for errors. Bug eyes!!
