New ZEALAND has rougher country than the Rockies?????
New Zealand's highest mountain is about 12000 ft. above sea level and the Canadian Rockies higher peaks are 11,000-12,000+. In addition, Canada, is FAR "wilder" and the climate much harsher than NZ and they have NO dangerous animals.
Sooooo, I tend to doubt that remark.
It ain't about how high.... it's about how fast you gotta get high! The southern alps are as rugged as any "hunting country" on the planet.
You better pray to the God of Skinny Punks that this wind doesn't pick up......
