K2’s Easter Paddling Mission in the Snow!

Avatar

Here is a video of our mission over Easter. Technically it was the first snow fall of my season. And was a great day paddling. Im in all blue with red pack on my boat.
Love to hear your thoughts shaka

Easter 2012 saw a group of six of us have a play on the very scenic upper section of Pencil Pine Creek at Cradle Mountain, Tasmania during one of the first snowfalls of Autumn, after a multi-day packraft trip nearby finished earlier than planned. Some cold hands and feet but fun paddling, in a beautiful forest, and a takeout point only 50m from the best place in the region for a hot meal, cold drink and roaring fireplace. It might have to be an annual event smile Andy

It was pretty cold, but we had dry suits on which helps a tonne! Mainly only get cold hands. But towards the end, I got a bit cold, as I had been sweating in my drysuit from the hike in, which made me cold in the end.
