Mt Cook - Mueller Hut

Mt Cook, the largest mountain in New Zealand....and i climbed it....well, not Mt Cook but a mountain right next to it! Zach, Ally, Nic, and I climbed Mt Olivia. The climb was quite difficult and it poured the entire way up. Once reaching the the ridge, 120 Km/hr speed winds kicked in. We battle rain and wind to reach the hut just 2 Kilometers further. The hut that night was full so the 4 of us set up our tent below the hut and endured the night, surprisingly, we all slept well. The next morning we summited and reached the top for the sunrise. As the sun came out, we gazed at the sea of clouds in front of us, with the sign rising over Mt Cook, quite the sight!
