Water Closet

After returning from the cold foggy day, we ate, ate, slept, and ate.  I soon learnt that the lavatory had a beautiful view of Mount Tasman.  As you can see the clouds were rolling in, making it difficult to navigate, but luckily navigation from the latrine to the hut was not difficult.... except for the slippery slopes with a cliff on one side and a crevasse on the other.  However, not to worry, we setup a rope between the hut and outhouse. 



One of the events that was funny and not funny  at the same time is that one of the climbing members uses glasses.  He happened to buy a pair of very fancy glasses that would protect the UV rays when they were out, but otherwise acted as normal glasses.  The frames and lens were both expensive.  As he poured out the dish water, his glasses happened to jump off of his face.  Unfortunately the compost heap is not easy to get to, so he ab sailed down (rappelled).  He managed to find half of the frame. 
It would have been funny had he been able to find the glasses intact.  As a complete change of subject, the sunsets were gorgeous from the hut.  I couldn't imagine another place I'd rather be, just other people that I'd want there with me (i.e. family and friends).
