The Mt Egmont Alpine Club Open Climb began in somewhat wet conditions but from the skifield on we left the wet and had a mix of mist and clear views. I had sent the Nikon D50 away for repairs (again) and was relying on the old Nikon Coolpix 3100.

In preparation for the open climb, the Mt Egmont Alpine Club organised a fatham's Peak climb two weeks before. I took the Nikon D50 in a front harness, which helped access but did obscure my view of foot placement, so I am undecided on whether this is a good idea or not.
