On June the first of 2019, a mother (Tracey Smith) and son set off to hike the Nelson Lakes National Park, an area known to be treacherous in the winter months. After meeting a few more hikers along the way, the two spontaneously changed their destination to Angelus hut, which proved to be a fatal error after being left behind by the group. A series of poor decisions was made, resulting in a truly harrowing tale of tragedy and survival. This is mountain climbing gone wrong.
