The great peaks of the central volcanic plateau are a treasure house for climbers and skiers. Their summits are the North Island’s premier alpine wilderness; many North Island climbers first learned their craft here, whether on ice, rock or snow. This guide spans the range of climbing opportunities Tongariro National Park provides. Ruapehu, especially, is world-famous as a skier’s mountain, and opportunities for ski-mountaineering away from the big fields are described. But it is also the first ever detailed guide to alpine routes and technical ice climbs. The rich tradition of rock climbing in the park is celebrated, from the early twentieth century pioneers on Holl’s Rock to modern test pieces in the Whakapapa Gorge. The book is illustrated with images from some of New Zealand’s top outdoor photographers, and topographical maps and photo-topos show the routes in detail. Whatever kind of climbing adventure you are planning in the national park, this book will provide information and inspiration.

The majestic, near symmetrical cone of Taranaki/Mount Egmont rises from the gently rolling pasture of the North Island’s West Cape. As New Zealand’s most accessible mountain it proudly dominates the landscape, influences the province’s weather and provides an irresistible magnet for climbers.

A variety of climbing abounds on the upper slopes; from 10 metre crag climbs to classic winter alpine climbs on the rimed slopes. The mountain’s open terrain offers limitless variations in the trackless alpine areas.

This totally revised new edition features 30 alpine routes and over 200 rock climbs, including a dozen newly developed crags. Skiing on the mountain is also covered. Complemented by over 70 photographs, photo-topos and maps, this guide also details the Maori legend, climbing history and the origins of place names. Climbs are conveniently arranged by road ends or climbing base huts and indexed for quick location. This authoritative guide is an essential resource for anyone wishing to explore Taranaki’s climbing bounty.

The Mount Aspiring area is classic mountaineering country where the approach to the mountains may be as enjoyable as the climbs themselves. It is a region of open grassy flats, gentle bush tracks, hard hauls up the valley sides and high, wide snowfields.

This completely new guide gives full descriptions of the popular peaks and approaches from the two branches of the Matukituki valley and the head of the Dart Glacier. For the first time, peaks north to Mt Alba, and south to Mt Earnslaw, are described. Ice climbing areas are also be fully covered, making this new guide an essential item for all climbers visiting the region.

This comprehensive guide covers the ranges between the Haast Pass and Mount Cook. The valleys covered include the Hopkins and Huxley, the Landsborough, and other West Coast valleys north of Haast Pass. The ranges covered offer many fine rock and snow climbs on peaks slightly lower and less glaciated than those at Mount Cook, though there are also many climbs of a technical nature.

The mountainous region between Mount Cook National Park and Haast Pass contains some superb alpine country. Its delights include major rivers, tussock covered valleys, attractive forest, and five mountain ranges including the Main Divide with peaks reaching up to the high point of 2746m altitude.

The valleys are popular tramping regions but fewer climbers visit the area, perhaps because all the prominent peaks have now been climbed, the rock is typically of moderate to poor quality, and none of the peaks reach the magic hight of 3000m. However for those who appreciate superb river, bush, rock and snow vistas, are tired of moraine bashing, and enjoy the chance to tackle peaks of moderate altitude and difficulty, the region continues to charm.

Thoughtful climbers who enjoy some research can continue to find unclimbed routes on the ridges and faces of the major peaks. Twenty-three peaks in the region reach 2500m or more in altitude and provide an array of climbing experiences ranging from highly accessable Glentanner Peak to isolated Mount Strachan, from ice glacier covered Mount Dechen to rock glacier flanked Dun Fiunary Peak. from gendarme-like Black Tower Peak to massive Mount Hooker. A total of over 280 routes are listed in this guidebook, and are an indication of the range of climbing opportunities provided by this area. While many of the earlier ascents involved traverses of often delicate ridges, the greatest potential for new routes may be in face climbs which have been overlooked until now.

This guide also includes the Hopkins and Huxley, the Landsborough, and the West Coast valleys north of the Haast Pass. The ranges covered offer many fine climbs on peaks that are slightly lower and less glaciated than those in Mount Cook Park
