For those interested, I finished my trip report for the volcanic peaks we climbed in NZ.
Pretty cool place and the weather finally held out long enough to get the climbs in!

Re: New Zealand Volcanoes
I spent 6 months in NZ in 2010 working and hiked Tongariro. Great country and people. Thanks for the the pics! They brought back good memories.
The summit is a source of power. The long view gives one knowledge and time to prepare. The summit, by virtue of the dizzying exposure, leaves one vulnerable. A bit of confidence and a dash of humility is all we get for our work. Yet to share these moments with friends is to be human. C. Anker
