Gillespie Pass | Tramping (Hiking) Video Series | New Zealand

Показать описание

The Gillespie Pass Circuit is one of Aotearoa’s most spectacular but equally hazardous alpine tramps. It has stunning native forest and alpine views of glacially carved landscapes, but also numerous creek and river crossings which have, at times, been fatal. There are some alternative transport methods to avoid crossing Otago's Makarora River, but trampers should be well pre-pared regardless with river-crossing skills and experience.

This video explores the circuit to help you prepare for these crossings and the alpine sections of the route so that you make it home safely.

Well done MSC. A wonderful set of videos. The Makarora is the closest I've come to being swept away during a river crossing, just above the Young confluence. In a party of 4 we pushed across waist deep fast flowing water, using mutual support and a pole. Three of the party floated off the river bed secured only by their linked arms. The fourth, me, dug in against the powerful current and walked out backwards towing the other three behind me. Lucky. All this because we were too gung ho. Take care. A fab tramp once your clothes dry off.
