On a calm morning like this, I’m more than willing to give up the comfort of my warm bed for a chance to stand on the summit of Mt Ngauruhoe. The visibility was excellent – all the way to Mt Edgecumbe in the Bay of Plenty, 150km away.
The fresh snow and the crisp wintry air brought a sense of serenity, only to be interrupted by the crunch of my crampons and the hissing sound of the steam fumaroles.
