Waitangi Day @ Mt. Taranaki

On Waitangi Day 2013 I decided to climb Mt Taranaki. Its a 2518m high vulcano and a sacred place of the Maori people.

The day before:

Some snowfall over the night (in Summer!) made it a little bit easier on the iced top:

Mt. Taranaki from space. All in all a pain in the a** 6h return climb over damn loose gravel.. There must be a reason for this..
