This large, accommodating crevasse just below the Middle Peak summit of Aoraki Mt Cook is a spectacular place to spend the night when planned, and a safe haven for many climbers in hostile weather. Mark Inglis and Phil Doole were trapped here for 2 weeks in 1982. Lukas Kirchner enjoys the view of La Perouse and the West Coast .
