This is a tough climb, don't be fooled! I am fit and made it in a 9 hour return day, not a lot of stop time, photos of course ;-)Its VERY steep and there are no paths after a certain level, you have to rely on the post markers. 2 hours of bouldering near to the top. We had a perfect day, clear views all round. Dont forget its all exposed and you will need sun block ;-)

Took the trail up from Stratford which was recommended as the best approach to the mount. It lived up to its expectation. Especially if you aren't the outdoor type and cant do much walking. The Dawson Falls were a 10 mins walk away which was really awesome.

A longish drive but well worth it, stunning views from the top. Even better on an open clear day. Well worth the drive

we are not young or fit enough to climb to the top but enjoyed the 2 hour ramble around the Veronica Track from the Visitors Centre which provides excellent coffee and cakes. Try to do it before 10am when it starts to cloud over

Its worth noting that the mountain is by the sea and as such suffers from cloud rolling in so climb it at or before dawn and get the sunrise on the way up. The scree makes the climbing extremely difficult and hiking boots are a MUST. The weather can change in an instant from warm summers day to freezing so take warm clothing and waterproofs. People die on this mountain so don't take risks. The view from the top at dawn is awesome especially when the clouds below are lit by the rising sun. I was on top for 7:30 having set off at 4:30 and raced up with hiking poles. The 'normal' time is 5 hours.

It took me eight hours to hike up and down Mt. Taranaki from the visitor center. I had sturdy hiking boots, which were a great help on the scree fields halfway up. I also had a good wind shell as well as an insulating layer. These were necessary since the peak was at -1 C even though the visitor center had a high of ~19 C at the same time. The trail is quite well marked given the terrain. Make sure you are comfortable holding on to rock faces as you climb up and down, since although it isn't steep enough to need full gear/protection, it is certainly not flat enough for hands-free climbing.

I am just back from this. I have done a fair number of hikes but unfortunately I didn't succeed climbing this. A combination of driving wind, rain, coldness and lack of visibility meant I couldn't complete it.Later on it cleared up so there was good views of above and surrounding area in New Plymouth belowThe mountain is stunning but check forecasts and bring appropriate gear. Even in mid March this can be a tough ask.

For 60 years I had never climbed my home mountain, but Hillary made a statement about Everest, so I also stated ' I knocked the b****** off'. Took me 11 hours (slow) up and down from North Egmont car park. Only suitable for lean sporty types - if you are lounge lizard forget it. Its easier up the Dawson Falls start, but North Egmont starts higher up. Its a 4WD road for 1st leg to Tahurangi lodge at 1500mts taking around 1.5 hrs. Then up the gorge and steps to foot of scoria slope where you take 2 steps forward , one step back (you get the drift) and then the lizard rock, no track as such, just follow the poles to the crater and then over the ice to summit rock which is around 50 mts up from the crater. This is a summer climb description only and in good weather. Take plenty of water and good hiking boots/gaiters

Mount Taranaki dominates the skyline for most of the region. It has numerous tracks, ranging from a mild 20 minute loop to the option of ascending to the summit. There are also various tramping huts and cafes and restaurants to keep you occupied. The North Egmont visitor centre is well equipped with information about where to go, the history of the mountain, flora and fauna and so on (go to Puke Ariki in New Plymouth to get more info). Just don't make the mistake of treating the mountain casually. Always carry enough gear to cover a change in the weather, because it is easy to get caught out. Having total cell phone coverage whilst tramping in most areas is pretty cool, but you can still get into trouble if you are not prepared! Enjoy our mountain.
