Today we climbed from the valley to Pelion Gap. We left our packs at Pelion Gap and climbed up and around Mt. Doris and through the "Japanese Gardens" at the base of Mt. Ossa. The pin cushions were just gorgeous. We huddled around the rocks for lunch as the sleet and snow swirled about us. It was too cold for the water to boil so we went without our afternoon tea. Some hearty souls of the group decided to try to summit Mt. Ossa in the mist. Since I was already cold with my five layers, I opted to return back to Pelion Gap and onto Kia Ora Hut with the rest of the group.
