The Southern Alps had barely been touched, and a handful of local men decided to do it themselves. Mannering climbed in the 1880s and 90s when there were no huts, no guides and no maps worth the name, and the approach through the bush was harder than the mountain: Aoraki attempted again and again, the glaciers, the rivers, the weather. New Zealand mountaineering at the very beginning.
