30 September Trips on the Fox and Franz Joseph Glaciers Paul Maxim and Dave Bamford
In the spring of 2024, Paul attempted a climb of Mt Tasman with three other club members, and with an aging bunch of Alpine Club members traversed the Franz and Fox Glaciers to try and locate the exact position of the historic and long-abandoned Teichelmann camp on Pioneer Ridge.
Please see our online hui guidance for information on how to attend and for an invitation.
