Three Volcanoes in Three Days
Sunday 4 April
Top of Bruce Road to Mount Ruapehu summit and return
13 km, rising 1167m, falling 1167m, 9hrs (Daypack with some backup equipment)
Sling daypacks on our backs and away along the Iwikau Village walk up onto Knoll ridge, take the Knoll ridge / Restful ridge valley up onto the Whakapapa glacier and onto the dome hut and Crater Lake. We will have to then push onto the Tahurangi Summit (Ruapehu’s highest point) before retreating back down the same track.
