Latest Questions about Heli Hike - Fox Glacier Guiding (Fox Glacier)
Hi - would it be possible for Martin to do this hike ? He had a stroke in 2012 and his left side is somewhat impaired - he can walk on uneven ground and is fit enough to do 3hours but does wear an aid to prevent foot drop - am slightly concerned he would find crampons difficult? He has very little use of his left arm . As a guide to his level we are walking days one and two of Queen Charlotte track .
