Geocache Description:


On 3 December 1910. Freda Du Faur became the first woman to climb New Zealand’s highest peak, Aoraki/Mt Cook. Over the ensuing 3 climbing seasons she went on to become perhaps the most accomplished amateur mountaineer of her time, regardless of sex.
(visit link)
She wrote: 'I was the first unmarried woman to climb in New Zealand, and in consequence I received all the hard knocks until one day when I awoke more or less famous in the mountaineering world, after which I could and did do exactly as seemed to me best.'

The cache is a 500ml plastic screw top container and contains a logbook only, bring your own pen. It is located at Freda's rock the well known photo site of Freda which was taken after the historic and successful climb.

It has been noted that the logbook if fill. If some kind catcher could add some more paper or log book it would be much appreciated as CO unlikely to be in area for a while.
