Hey, Miss Sooji! Cool seeing you on YT. Chur, Jorrit (NZCEC weekend 7)

2024

Thanks so much for this.

Great training course! Thank you

As an Ex heli-ski guide a very good video

Love this channel. Your videos are very informative and interesting.. Thanks for all the hard work you put in videos

Kiwi's are awesome. Straight forward, real and super informative. Thank you.

Any idea where can we rent this?

😭

, what ht

I did this hike this summer! The weather was perfect. One of the best days in my life

What do the orange mark numbers mean? It started adter the lodge at 106 i got to marker 32 before the weather got so bad i had to turn around Is that 320 meters from the sumit?

These are by far the best hiking guides out there.

Hey, is this a good hike of youve never done an over night hike before? Completed plenty of day hikes but would be first time doing a camp hike.

Thanks for the vids. Very helpful 👌🏻👌🏻

I'm a 69 year old woman & I did this amazing walk alone 2 weeks ago. It was very challenging & the long walk down to the carpark was gruelling, but I was very lucky as the weather was glorious & the views unforgettable. My hips & ankles started to hurt during the last hour or so of walking in spite of me using walking poles, but once I was sitting in the shuttle bus at the end I was fine. I am reasonably fit but live in a fairly flat city in Australia, so had had little experience of walking up & down hills, let alone mountains, & it was this that made the hike so difficult for me, not the distance per se. I walked almost the same distance in Wellington a few days later, including up & around Mt Victoria, & had no trouble at all. One thing to remember when reading the signs that tell you the distance to the next rest area, toilet, carpark, etc is that when you are climbing up or down lots of steps you are not necessarily travelling much distance, regardless of how many steps you are taking. I nearly despaired on occasions late in the walk when I felt I had walked several kilometres only to discover at the next signpost that I had hardly travelled more than a kilometre. I agree with an earlier comment that having someone to talk to during these last stages of the walk would be a great help & distraction from the distance & difficulty when you are so tired; this was the only part of the walk that I spent really on my own, as there were so many people to chat to in the earlier stages, & I found it hard. I am highly unlikely to do this walk again, but if I do go back to the Tongariro area I'd like to go to the Ketetahi carpark & then retrace the last few kilometres of the walk through the woodlands, as they looked so pretty, but I was trudging onwards so doggedly, so focussed on getting to the end of the walk, that I couldn't appreciate their beauty at the time.

Too many people on that bridge at once

I climbed it with the youth group in summer in the early 80's with a mountaineer as our guide. Spectacular view to Nelson Ranges. Beautiful day. Had a swim at back beach when we got back to New Plymouth.

Fantastic video. Thanks

hello

Fantastic video. I love looking at this and remembering my trip from 5 or 6 years ago. Highly recommend this tramp - it's tough going but well worth it!

had it, would not recommend!

my wife and I did this walk , I was 60 at the time and found it very challenging as i had several knee operations in the past ,we started out fine but the decent from the red crater was difficult due to the volcanic rocks but that was only a short decent compared to the track to the bottom carpark , the graded track was brutal on legs and ankles as its a fairly steep decent , my wife had to undergo feet surgery when we returned home due to the pressure of her toes being pushed into her hiking boots , it was a bucket list item and i did a lot of walking in the lead up months but nothing prepared me for this, some younger people were very quick but it can be a challenge to older people , loved doing it as the scenery was amazing but be prepared as this is difficult , was i fully aware to the difficulty , no , my wife said she will never go hiking with me again

Name of the music in the background?

Any chance for Avalanche Peak - Crow Hut track?

What a fantastic and informative video, thank you.

Appreciate these videos, most informative.

Just finished this hike on Jan 4th! We lucked out, had the most beautiful day, with the sun out when we reached the Red Crater. Everything was visible, even Mt Ngauruhoe (Mt Doom in The Lord of the Rings). The most challenging is the scree of that 100m descent to the lakes. And then the never ending steps to the pick-up area. I suggest not doing this hike alone. Because that last 3 hours hiking down will fly by if you have someone to talk to. Loooooved this hike so much. Will be in my 80s & be reminiscing how much fun I had.

I've done this climbing until summit barefoot and socks only! Reaching the end of the Scree part, I started wearing socks (only socks!) because it was getting really slippery so no not slown down the group, I wore them. After that, until the top with socks! I have videos to prove! Does someone already did it? summit Mount Taranaki barefoot/socks?

Done this wee walk in new zealand 7 times on my own and as a guide.

30. 12. 2023 finally did it. Amazing trip. The Angelus hut is another level - double glazed, spacious with extensive deck area. Went in via Mt. Robert ridge and came out through Speargrass track due to low visibility/rain - a good option to add more variety of terrains and scenery regardless of weather. The only issue was lots of river/stream crossing - water level rising and fast flow. More challenging than we thought. It is the experience you will never forget for sure! Thank you very much for your comprehensive video that inspired us to visit. Looking forward to more inspiration from you. 😊

As a Scotsman on holiday with my Kiwi wife, the summiting of Mt Taranaki was on my list of things to do. Well aware of its reputation, I came kitted for a day on a Scottish mountain and it did not disappoint. I had one crack at the whip, which is a classic bad move for tourists looking complete one of our tops, - because you don’t get to pick your weather. I knew bad weather was coming in but figured I’d have enough time to summit and run. Well that lava scree is not something we don’t see at home and it fair slowed the pace. What I had in my favour (I thought) was an Aucklander who had done it before. As it turned out, his kit choice (shorts) was questionable at best, and his jacket - well, Twas not the best. As we got close to the summit the wind must have been in excess of a 150kph and the rain was going either sideways or upwards. This was easily as tough as a bad day at home. We got right to the edge of the rim, but by this point we were on our hands and knees and could only make ourselves heard by shouting. The real fun part was I couldn’t even pull out a map as it was highly likely it would ended up in Napier with the wind. So, navigating on unfamiliar ground, in mist, rain and high winds is hard enough, but doing it without recourse to a map is clearly not clever. In our favour were the poles stuck in at intervals (are they still there?), and given I have plenty adverse weather miles under my own belt, my limit was the rim. At that point, if we went past it, I’d have no reference points and it would have been not clever to go on. So we turned back. My kiwi friend’s hardiness in these conditions was somewhat impressive, and by the time we got back down to the alpine hut the rain was sheeting of our jackets. So will there be a next time - I hope so. It was a spectacular day out even if the weather was sub-optimal,but next time, I’ll wait till it’s sunny!!!

Thanks lEGend!

Good info. Thanks.

To city goers - extreme muti day backpacking experience . To New Zealander- yeah it was a great walk.

Doesn't say where the track is in NZ....will have to Google.

In the 60s and 70s as kids we used to walk from Blackball to the old Top hut just below the Ces Clarke one. The track was very overgrown,some of the bridges were still standing but very rotten also there were a lot of slips that had to be scrambled over was a great place for kids adventures. We would stay a night and the next day along the tops to Baldy above Roa, then follow the ridge down through the bush to the Roa coal dump then out onto the road back to Blackball, great days.

Looks like a nice place to get away from the 5g smart prisons full of radiation and disgusting gangstalkers. Or is it?

this is not even ice cold.

As always, a well put together and informative video. Thanks NZMSC!

Done this years back, easy track, remarkable views

Did this in a day. Nice walk

Great Video, thank you for sharing! Is it possible to hike from routeburn Falls Hut all the way to to the Divine on one day, if the weather conditions are good? I am an experienced hiker and just from looking at the difference of change of height and the kilometers it looks possible to me. Thanks for your advice and Best regards, Maria

Superb video. A really enjoyable watch. Thanks.

Fantastic video! Thank you for this. It made planning our hike a lot easier.

Why do they remove the bridges I winter??

I did it in sneakers. Easy peasy

very good man for the job

Super rugged mountains and rough terrain for trekking but superb scenery and enchanting horizon. Wonderful experience
