Site Update (May 1st 2013): All weather maps have been improved to make them much more useful for climbers. Animate either temperature or weather and move your cursor to any mountain location to see how the weather is forecast to evolve at various elevations. Because of the limited space on these large region maps, we can only show this at a subset of locations. We will add much more detailed maps very soon.

Walk up
Pukekaikiore is a small peak to the west of Ngarauhoe in the Tongariro National Park. There are no marked paths to follow, but on the western and southern faces, there are numerous, fairly gentle routes to take to the summit, all of which are easy to follow. The northern face is, by and large, vertical rock face and is popular with rock climbers. The eastern face is a steep scramble, but not beyond the capabilities of any reasonably fit, agile climber. In the summer, it's a pretty easy walk-up, but in the winter (even on the gentler slopes of the west face), it would be advisable to take an ice axe and crampons (though the latter are not necessary during a sunny day as the altitude is low enough and the sun strong enough to allow much of the snow to become soft - sturdy boots are sufficient to kick steps, occasionally using the axe to cut steps). The views from the summit on a good day are spectacular.
