This last weekend I went out with the tramping club to Mt Pirongia. We summited the mountain on the first day and came down on the second. It was raining and really quite miserable towards the end of the first day because the top of the mountain was stuck in a cloud. The peak of the mountain is 974 meters tall. The next day we hiked out down, rather ran down, and got to do a little exploring. We got to go check out a sweet little cave and then spent some time getting lost and hiking through a river (we were already soaked so it didnt matter that we were getting wetter!). 17 people came it total, which is a huge group to go tramping with! Unfortunately, my camera ran out of battery power after the first day so I have limited photos. Here they are!
