South Island Gallery / Climbing / 2012-12 Rome Ridge and Rolleston-Philistine traverse   Another day out on Rolleston--up Rome Ridge to the low summit (5 hours, good climbing but plenty of loose rock), along to the high summit, down the gully NNW from between the 2 high summits to about 1900m, then up on to the Rolleston-Philistine ridge. Along the ridge to Philistine (mostly shattered rock, some snow), then down Warnocks bluff route (12 hours total). About half a metre of snow has melted in places since last Saturday!  Paul starting off up Rome Ridge    Ben and Paul    IMGP0820    IMGP0822    IMGP0823    Climbing down off the ridge to avoid the gap    IMGP0826    IMGP0828    IMGP0831    IMGP0832    IMGP0834    IMGP0835    IMGP0836    IMGP0838    IMGP0840    IMGP0842    IMGP0843    Up to the Low summit    Climb to the High summit    IMGP0849    IMGP0854    IMGP0855    Climbing on to the Rolleston-Philistine ridge    IMGP0858    IMGP0859    IMGP0860    IMGP0863    IMGP0864    IMGP0865    IMGP0866   30 Images  |  Home  |  Generated by jAlbum 9 and based on Chamelion skin
