Nelson Lakes. Waiau/Thompson Passes/ David Saddle

Late February to mid March. (2009) 6 to 8 days starting at L Rotoiti or Rotoroa, hard. Cross Waiau Pass from Lake Constance, up to Lake Thompson and over Thompson Pass. Sidle to unnamed pass (1820m), over it to unnamed tarn (Matakitaki River catchment) and climb to David Saddle. Finally down to D’Urville River and out. Could include Travers Saddle. One or two partners wanted for safety reasons, prefer self contained but will share. UK/NZ, 58years, not the fastest but I usually get there. Live in Nelson.
