Kona on Read’s Tower in mid-June, view towards Sparrowhawk summit in clouds. Visibility and icy conditions turned us back from Sparrowhawk at 70 m below summit (pic below), so this (and the breakfast burrito) is the ‘consolation prize’ for the day’s effort.

Too cold, icy and foggy to continue to Sparrowhawk summit.

Returning from upper slopes of Mt. Sparrowhawk to below Read’s Tower.
