Found this funny little (Slightly terrible) looking peak! So Sean and i figured we should climb it
Game plan is to drive up to North block road, walk up and sleep in Top Maropea hut just past Sunrise Hut. Then we'll have a fun little scramble up to the peak of Te Atuaoparapara(1687m) and walk down to either Waikamaka Hut or, over Rangioteatua(1704m) and A6G4(1715m) and down to Smith Stream Hut depending on time. Then we'll bag Hinerua Hut and walk out back to North Block Road End and have a lovely little (long) drive home.
Since we are techincally in winter i'd prefer if you have snowcraft experience or at least experience in scrambling up god awful hills.
More details TBD
Sign up to the waitlist while we figure this stuff out.

Plan is to start at the Pines road end, stay the night at Mitre Flats Hut, then summit the mountain and stay the night again at Mitre Flats, then back out the next day. Going up the moutain will be constant steep uphill, but we will have the entire day to go up and down. We will also leave most of our stuff at the hut to make the climb easier.
Cost will just be fuel - $20.54 per person if 4 people are going.
This will be an alpine trip - we will be above the bush line for a good portion of the second day. Make sure you have a good puffer jacket or raincoat, gloves and a beanie are also good to have.

Sunrise trail run/walk/frolic!
Meet at the end of St Albans ave at 6:50am on Wednesday at the start of the makara peak trail, will be leaving to start at 7. We will go to the top of makara peak, have a cup of tea as the sun rises and then make our way along the skyline trail. Continuing along until we reach the summit of Johnston hill and then coming down back into karori.
Go at your own pace! In the morning we will set meeting spots along the trail to regroup at. You may drop down back into Karori at any point if you let me know before leaving and feel free to continue along the skyline after we finish!
Goal is so have fun, get moving and see the sunrise!

So that will be 2x lunches, 2x breakfasts, 1 dinner for friday night (or get takeaways on the drive up). Also feel free to bring booze, just don't get too drunk.
Friday: Leave Wellington by mid-morning and make the 5hr trek up to Hawke's Bay. We'll arrive at the Mangatutu campsite by dark, in time to set up the tents, cook some dinner and jump into the hot pools around sunset. There's no walking on this day!
Saturday: Walk 2-3 hours to Te Puia Hut in the morning. Drop our bags, eat some lunch, and then walk another 45min to the Mangatainoka hot pools where we can hang out for the afternoon and evening. Alternatively, we could choose to camp next to the hot pools at the Mangatainoka campsite.
Sunday: Walk the 3-4hrs back to the roadend in the morning. If we have time, we can jump in the Mangatutu hot pools again before we leave. Drive back to Wellington in the afternoon, likely arriving home around dinner time!

IMPORTANT: Due to sand dredging at the beach on the 17th, we have changed the date to the 19th (Friday) at 3pm!
Inspired by the recent morning swims, we thought we might organise something at a more reasonable time of day!
It will be a swim (or a frantic dip!) for those who want to brave the ocean, but we will also bring camp stoves, thermoses, and some food.
This will of course be weather dependent - if it's raining we might reschedule or maybe bring the picnic indoors somewhere.
Where: Oriental Bay
What to bring:
- Togs
- Towel
- LOTS of warm layers, hat, gloves
- Camp stove and gas and pots if you have them
- Bowl/plate/mug and cutlery
- Something yummy to share around
- Picnic blanket if you have one
Filming notice:
Some of this trip will be filmed by Yana/crew for the student documentary. If you are not comfortable being on camera, that is perfectly fine! Just let us know when we all get there and we can work around preferences. There will be time for us to chill without the cameras as well.

Would you like to learn how to climb trees with ropes and stuff? Or actually anything you can tie a rope to, it doesn't have to be a tree. I'm running a basic tree climbing training in Wellington with Climate Liberation Aotearoa, but anyone from the tramping club is welcome too. It's in the context of protest and activism, but it's a useful skill even if you aren't interested in that.
We're communicating through an app called Signal, message me either through email or on 02040193451 and I can get you in the loop.
(all of the above is true, but this is also a shameless way to ask to borrow some climbing harnesses according to club policy please Finlay)
