A Darkness More Than Night by Timothy Poulton

Plateau Hut perched on Mt Cook looks harmless in images and taking up a set of skis or snowboard would be so tempting but the reality is that this place is so dangerous and unforgiving it only takes one bad decision and it’s a matter of life or death. Snow baked by the sun during the day can form a thick ice crust and without snowshoes or crampons will become one of the deadliest slippery dips you’ll ever ride. Weather at this altitude can change in seconds and without the right gear end with you being a permanent feature. The nights I spent at this crazy location are some of the best memories of my life and with avalanches going off all around you and temps getting way below 20 degrees I’ll always have total respect for the lads that built Plateau Hut for us to enjoy. Just a little creative license, blending an evening sky with an earlier foreground. All you LIKES, SHARES and especially your COMMENTS are truly appreciated.
