"I love to go a-wandering, there & back & back again"
Whakapapa ski patrollers Dave and Rob blew up the headwall above The Valley (to save you from being dumped on by an avalanche) recently. A long walk is part of this dangerous and demanding job, but these cool, cairn professional mountain men could handle it. Using only their bare hands and a Moro Bar wrapper, they completely failed to come up with a MacGyver-type replacement for the detonators they'd left behind. So the long walk doubled in length.
