I Tried to Climb Milford Sound's Most Iconic Peak

Flying from Wanaka to Milford Sound is one of the most spectacular flights in New Zealand, but this wasn't just a scenic flight. In this episode of Final Approach NZ, I depart Wanaka and fly into the heart of Fiordland with one goal: camp on Mitre Peak and attempt one of New Zealand's most iconic climbs. After landing at Milford Sound Airport, the adventure continues on kayak and on foot as I make my way into some of the steepest and most dramatic terrain in the country. With stunning views over Milford Sound, a night spent in an unplanned camp spot, and an ambitious summit attempt ahead, all whilst watching the incoming weather forecast change through out the trip.
