After we had come down from Barron saddle we had heard that a guy had taken a bad fall on Mt Cook and was very lucky to be alive. As soon as we had reception again Mike's mobile went crazy from his friends who were making sure it wasn't him.
Originally I was planning to go paddling with my flatmate Sam after the course - and some of his paddling friends from Brisbane were over here at the same time and it seemed convenient to join up with them. Some of the same guys are also into mountaineering and it turns out that the guy who fell was Sam's friend and we could have joined up had thing worked out differently. Puts a different spin on things.
What a small world.
