    Mt. Taranaki this weekend

    Hello,

     I am running a trip up Mt. Taranaki this weekend. Plan is:

    Friday: meet hunter car park 5;30pm (or whenever works for people) and drive to the Taranaki ski field

    Saturday: walk to the summit, spend the night on the summit

    Sunday: walk down and get home

    There will be an opportunity for ice climbing at the summit for those who are keen.

    You need to be very comfortable with walking on crampons and being able to self arrest and have a good level of fitness (it is a mountain).

    Please sign up at the meeting, reply to this post or email me if you are keen.

    The trip is weather dependant. I will make a call at noon friday as to if it will be on or not.

    yay for climbing,

    Terra :)

    Ok, I have had to call it off (again) due to bad weather. If you want to know why check out: http://www.metvuw.com/forecast/forecast.php?type=rain&region=nzni&noofdays=7 it will make you happy to be at home in your own water and windproof house sat night, or at least a hut in the Tararuas or deep underground in a cave....
