| atavist | Tongariro Alpine Crossing Date Climbed: Apr 14, 2012 | |
| Started from Whakepapa chateau at 9am, pass by Taranaki Falls along the loop, then Northern Circuit to Mangatepopo shelter, Mt Doom, Tongariro and finished the Crossing at Ketetahi in the dark at about 8pm. Very unique terrain owing to the Emerald Lakes and Blue Lake. | |

| Attila the Hun | Tongariro Crossing Date Climbed: May 12, 2007 | |
| Stood on the top while doing the Tongariro crossing. Visibility was a bit dodgy. Red crater looked (and smelt) pretty impressive though. Well worth doing, but the crossing can be done in one third the time they say it can. | |

| Juho | Route Climbed: Ketetahi Hut - North Crater Date Climbed: Jul 2, 2006 | |

| Baarb | Rainbow country Date Climbed: Mar 10, 2002 | |
| Did the traverse twice, once in the deep snow, once in the dry, each a week apart. The most amazing contrast imaginable. The colours of the mineral deposits, the lakes, Lake Taupo in the distance, Ngaurahoe, Ruapehu, just such an overwhelming onslaught of sensory input. Whiteout the first time round meant we skipped the Tongariro summit and kept on going. | |

| vancouver islander | Date Climbed: October 31, 2002 | |
| As a side trip during the Northern Crossing. White out conditions and very strong winds. Knew I was on top only because there was no more up. Prevented from seeing all those vaunted vistas but at least I had the hill to myself. Excellent day nevertheless. | |
