Wow, great filming! I tramped the East and West Matutukituki and climbed Aspiring and a few other easier peaks in my 20's, but never got around to tramping the Cascade Saddle. I'm 70 now and I know I couldn't handle the exposure on the ascent, so huge thanks for taking us along for the ride. The algorithm just popped your video up, and I'm now going to watch the rest of your videos. 👍
Thanks Paul the video was very nostalgic, 5 years ago I needed to escape and spent a few months backpacking and hiking through NZ. Cascade saddle was an absolute highlight. Next trip I'd like to walk from Arthurs pass to Nelson lakes and then explore further into Fiordland. Dart Glacier is a real hidden Gem.
I want to do exactly this hike and I was wondering exactly this. We are tourists from Europe and we are renting a car. How would the logistics work?@@Paul-travl
Beautiful.
Great video ..we did this route before Dart Lake was formed. Also before they strengthen the bridge over Snowy Creek ( before the Dart Hut)
Fantastic video it looks like an amazing hike.
Amazing video, well done sir.
It's great to have this aesthetic in videos to show the real beauty.
What a fantastic journey and video.
Solo hiking the best 👍
It truly is
Love that little ridge lookout at 3:26
Yes one of my favourite spots!

Great plans! Just went back over New Years and it was as pretty as always!
Thanks Paul. That was a very enjoyable watch. Impressive filming when you're tramping solo. Looks like you had great weather to.
Thank you!
Excellent video.
🤩 So beautiful place!! 👍
this is very good!
Awesome work! Looks like it was an awesome hike 🤙
Definitely one of my favourites!
Doing this solo would have been tough. Walking back to collect the camera every time would have added miles to your hike.
Haha it actually gives me joy to walk part of the track again, you see everything from a different angle like that!
Doing this in December, did someone pick you up at Chinamans Bluff or someone transferred your car?
I had a friend pick me up from Chinamans Bluff in the evening. Have fun and take care!
