Peak #29 -The Monuments little sister

Mauri ora,

Peak #29 – as named by me ‘The Monument’s Little Sister’

This was an alternative to the targeted peak- The Monument, due to the foggy vista.
Parked at Purau saddle I made a phone call to a friend ( a Port Levy bach owner and Monument summiter)”Where is the track up the Monument?”
”Can you see the Monument?”
”No”
”Follow the fence and then the cairns”.
We found the fence, we followed it and we never found the cairns… or the Monument.
We had to be satisfied with the little knoll that we did see somewhere in the vicinity of the Monument.
And thus it was with some relief that we actually made it back to the car.
Watch this space for the Monument, take 2!
