The great peaks of the central volcanic plateau are a treasure house for
\nclimbers and skiers. Their summits are the North Island’s premier alpine
\nwilderness; many North Island climbers first learned their craft here, whether
\non ice, rock or snow. This guide spans the range of climbing opportunities
\nTongariro National Park provides. Ruapehu, especially, is world-famous as a
\nskier’s mountain, and opportunities for ski-mountaineering away from the big
\nfields are described.<\/p>\n
But it is also the first ever detailed guide to alpine
\nroutes and technical ice climbs.<\/p>\n
The rich tradition of rock climbing in the
\npark is celebrated, from the early twentieth century pioneers on Holl’s Rock
\nto modern test pieces in the Whakapapa Gorge. The book is illustrated with
\nimages from some of New Zealand’s top outdoor photographers, and topographical
\nmaps and photo-topos show the routes in detail. Whatever kind of climbing
\nadventure you are planning in the national park, this book will provide
\ninformation and inspiration. 168 p.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
