"We clambered over rocks, ice and snow spurred on by the expectations of success. Bill took the lead and kicked boot steps into the snow and ice while I took the easier position of following, saving my strength for shooting, should the chance arise. The threatening snow clouds that were above Mount Cook earlier were closing in quick. We stopped and studied the tahr carefully through binoculars. He was an impressive beast, with a thick, light-tan ruff which hung down around his knees. With his dark body accentuated by the surrounding snow, I felt I could almost shoot him from where we were. There was just one steep rocky outcrop between us and the bull. Three times we turned back looking for a safer passage. Ice on the open rock made climbing unsafe. After struggling and helping each other up some treacherous parts, we finally found ourselves clawing through the last of the snow.In the amount of time it had taken to fire the three shots, the snowstorm had hit with full force".
