New
Zealand is better suited to mountaineering than rock climbing,
though most of what is available is fairly serious stuff, suitable
only for well-equipped climbing parties with a good deal of experience.
New Zealand's mountain weather is very changeable and mountaineers
need to be prepared for sudden climatic changes. For most people
the only way to get above the snow line is to tackle the easy summit
of Mount Ruapehu, the North Island's highest point, or pay for
a guided ascent of one of New Zealand's classic peaks. Prime candidates
here are the country's highest mountain, Mount Cook (3754m), accessed
from the climbers' heartland of Mount Cook Village, and New Zealand's
single most beautiful peak, the pyramidal Mount Aspiring (3030mI,
approached from Wanaka. In both areas there is a comprehensive
system of climbers huts used as bases for what are typically twenty-hour
attempts on the summit.
