    Taranaki/Egmont Summit From Syme Hut

    Hello all! Does anyone know if its realistic to make a summit attempt from syme hut? I'm aware of the popular East and North Ridge but do not want to traverse over from Syme Hut.  I also know it will be a scramble but am just not sure if its a great idea.  Also we have one or two extra seats in a van we rented to drive up. Will probably be 60$ a person to split the cost of the rental which we have from Thursday until Monday morning. If anyones interested or has any good info I would be happy to hear it!

    Cheers!

    Yes is possible.  Is straight forward navagation wise in fine weather.   Sometimes a nasty icey layer near the top of the southern slope.
