The New Zealand - born Australian was planning to do some ski touring .
He ’ d been dropped off by helicopter with a group and was walking to a hut when he fell , sliding down a steep slope and over a cliff .
Gaskin said that other climbers attempted to rescue Raite by taking him down the glacier , but that he died on the way down .
On Saturday , 32 - year - old Englishman <m> Robert Buckley </m> , originally from Essex , but living in Christchurch , fell about 2 , 000ft while climbing to a small hut on Mount Sefton with three companions .
Gaskin said Buckley was wearing crampons but was inexperienced .
Police said that Mr Buckley's group appeared to be "insufficiently" equipped and inexperienced for the climb they chose .
"They had hired some climbing equipment early that day and had managed to get within 80 meters of the bivvy , " police said .
"At this stage . . . one of the party has slipped on the ice and has fallen some 700 metres to his death . "
