On a luckily clear and sunny day Joe and I climbed the roughly 8,000' Mt. Taranaki.
A large volcano that dominates the skyline of the North Island, the view from a top is amazing beings how there is nothing else around!
The climb was very steep making for awesome shadows on the way up
Climbing up the scree was the most difficult part, it was literally 2 steps forward, 1 step back
Joe above the cloud line
after another hour or so of boulder climbing we finally ascended into the snow filled crater
a quick (and steep) 45 mins from the crater brings you to the top of the world!!
dont jump joe!!
the craziest part of the climb were these extreme unicyclists who carried their wheel(?) up to the top and then raced down with film crew in strategic areas... pretty impressive although they seemed to fall more than they stayed on!
they showed us some pretty crazy tricks... but still "extreme unicycling????"
