Fanthams Peak


Today we did a 3 1/2 hour, 1,000 vertical meter hike (almost) to the top of Fanthams Peak, which is the little peak next to Mt. Taranaki. Don't let them fool you, its not little! After hiking through brush and nice trails we came to a 1000 steps that lead up to the top. These were like the stairs to heaven (or hell). It was quite an experience for me, being afraid of heights--quite a mental challenge. It was like being on the edge of the mountain on the edge of the earth and hanging on to these tiny steps! Amazing.
