Description
This day will be interchangeable with Day 40, depending on the weather
We are guaranteed anepic day on the North Island's second highest peak - the perfect and imposing volcanic cone of Taranaki. The plan is to start at North Egmont Village and follow trails that flank the mountain to reach Dawson Falls. From here the relentless 1600m ascent of the peak, using the southern summit route, starts. From the top we'll drop down the northern summit route to complete a circuit back to the start. It sounds easy on paper but it'll be anything but!
Important Notes
Support runners need to be self-sufficient in regards to transport to the start and back from the finish. While we MAY be able to offer some assistance this CANNOT be guaranteed.
