Just back in Auckland after a weekend with friends climbing Mt Taranaki. The weather was perfect and with a drop of snow and little wind we hiked up to the summit successfully... See these views. Fell in love with the 'naki' and I'm already planning my next hike around the mountain this winter. We discovered the fastest way down was sliding on our arses, bliss. We made a whole day of it, eating some cafe style lunch in the sheltered basin near the summit. If you get the chance to do this trek then do it! Is dangerous in icy or adverse conditions though so play your cards right and go fully prepared.
