Photos of Ball Pass Crossing

Here are some more pictures from the trek.

Our first lunch break on Day 1 only 45 minutes into the walk which was mellow. After lunch the steep climb began. It was a beautiful valley. We were sitting right above the Tasman Glacier which is the largest glacier in New Zealand.
Mt Cook from the ridge climbing up to the top of Ball Pass just as the sun was coming up. The mountain is the tallest in New Zealand reaching 13,766 feet high.
John early in the morning just as the sun was coming up on Day 3 just about an hour above the Caroline Hut heading up to the summit of the Pass.
Me in front of what I believe is Mt Minert on Day 1.
Mt Tasman at sunset on Day 2 from right outside the hut. The rock face in front is Mt Cook. We were hearing huge ice and snow avalanches come crashing down the Caroling face of Mt Cook just as the colors of the sunset peaked!
