Sunrise Summer Scramble -Fantham Peak to Mt Taranaki (Canceled) (Wednesday, 10 - Sunday, 28 December 2025)Click to collapse

Organiser:
Jack Goodeve

This is a vibes based summit trip so the plan can and prolly will change dependent on the weather and presence of ice and snow around the crater. But the general plan is to summit from Syme Hut early in the morning and see the sunrise over the region.

Stuff to bring:

  • Overnight tramping kit (warm clothes, sleeping bag, basically everything you might need to stay for a night or two in a hut).
  • Climbing helmet. Alot of people have died due to falling rocks on Mt Taranaki, so to avoid that I want everyone bringing a helmet.
  • Bring a camel back or couple bottles of water. Its gonna be stinking hot and I would love it if people didnt get heat stroke.
  • Head torch so we can climb up in the dark.
  • Byo food

Garabaldi Plateau (Friday, 12 - Monday, 22 December 2025)Click to expand

Organiser:
Tommy Thomson

Garabaldi Plateau is deep in the middle of Kahurangi National Park. This is a but of a sequel to the center mountain trip last year. I was thinking of a 7-10 day transalpine trip that crosses from 1 side to the other(Kakapo hut, Herbert range, garabaldi, Leslie) but only if we can sort out the logistics. Kahurangi tends to be a bit more chill than the mountains further south, so this trip would be open for any keen MH trampers. 

Update: Dates are pretty locked in, starting from Karamea on the 12th and finishing sometime after the 20th
