the NZAC hut is probably booked out for the coming weekend (see forum on glenn's website), so tent would be good. The technical gear each of us would need is:

helmet, hammer, axe, rope, 2 snowstakes with slings and cables attached, a few quickdraws, a few ocking carabiners, belay device, harness, 2 or 3 slings, any ice screws, pitons, wires (nuts) we have

does that work?

how many people want to go? it would be nice to get the van full:)
