About Me

Hamilton, Waikato, New Zealand
In 2012 I decided to challenge myself. I plan to climb as many mountain peaks in the North Island this year as I can. This is known as "peak bagging", the original idea coming from the highlands of Scotland. Come with me on this adventure as I travel around NZ's north island collecting all the mountains she has to offer, and hopefully some fantastic views too!!

Mt Maungatautari (759m)

Thought I would write a bit about each of the peaks I have climbed so far...

Mount Maungtautari was my first official peak to climb.  This trek starts in farmland and passes through a perimeter fence (to protect the moutain from predators) before gradually climbing up a metal track.  The track then turns into the bush and meanders its way up to the moutains summit trig.  Unfortunately there are no real views at the top due to tall foilage but the climb is fairly straightforward and worth the effort, a nice way to kick off my peak bagging year...
