In December 2016 climber Jane Morris almost lost her arm (and her life) when a falling rock hit her on Mount Tasman.
Earlier that year she had become the first female president of the New Zealand Mountain Guides' Association.
She goes alpine most weekends weather permitting, leading international visitors and local climbers up some of the South Island's biggest and most challenging peaks from her base in Canterbury.
