Aoraki/Mount Cook One to One' Expedition 7 Days
The local Maori people gave this mountain the name Aoraki, meaning cloud piercer', and it's not hard to see why. Lying between the Tasman Sea and the Pacific Ocean and soaring 3000 metres into the atmosphere, the massive bulk of Aoraki/ Mount Cook is breathtaking. The mountain presents a significant mountaineering challenge. Skill, physical endurance and respect are all required if we are to reach its summit. On this one to one' guided climb of Aoraki/Mount Cook we allow seven days for our attempt on the summit. We fly in to Plateau Hut (2200m) to maximise the time we have to spend in the mountains and therefore our chance of a successful ascent.
Ascend New Zealand's highest peak and take in the view above the clouds

Learn technical mountaineering skills and get set to tackle mighty Aoraki/Mount Cook
This comprehensive and intensive alpine climbing course will kick-start your mountaineering exploits and prepare you for an ascent of Aoraki/ Mount Cook. For more than 20 years it has been the course of choice for anyone who is serious about learning alpine climbing in New Zealand. Most of Australasia's most prominent climbers and mountain guides began their careers with this course, as it provides a solid grounding in all alpine skills. Previous alpine (snow and ice) climbing experience is not required however; participants need to be fit, keen to learn, and have some rope skills.
