Broken River

Monday and Broken River, a wicked hangover and our first attempt at the infamous nutcracker lift tows! The harness around our waists hold a ring to which the nutcracker is tied, this clips over the fast moving rope and drags you up the hill. Fine so long as you can grab with the cracker before the first pulley, otherwise goodbye fingers! We all had sore arms the next day. This is a typical example of the fine NZ health and safety rules! (ie there are none) A challenging day but I managed it in the end! Note the black clouds, these gave lots of snow that night.
