I spent my copious free time in March writing a trip report for our Cascade Saddle tramp in February. It sure is scenic. #NZ #tramping #SouthernAlps

@va2lam I first did the Rees - Dart back in the late '70s , with a side trip to Cascade saddle. It's such a great part of the world, we are very lucky here in NZ. Have done it several times since, it is always well worth while.

@podsrover It is definitely fantastic. Today I was walking around in Waterloo in the 18C weather. Ontario is really not as nice.

The Dart Track is currently closed due to a slip. I was wondering if one could do it bringing a rope to rappel down. Pretty sure one really is not supposed to do that.

I thought the way through from Aspiring would be more fun than the Cascade Saddle day trip, but it really is the best option right now anyway.

@va2lam @podsrover damp and moody. The "new" lake was impressive, not sure if it is still there.

@kahurangi @podsrover Hmm. Here is where the Dart narrowed on the other end, but I think your picture is instead at Dredge Flat?
