I climbed up Mt Taranaki at the end of winter.

The weather was terrible that day. It was extremely bad conditions. But I was willing to achieve it anyway and despite a lack of mountaineering experience Don guided me safely towards the summit. There was no view whatsoever all along the ascent but I loved the experience of facing difficulties. The visibility was about 15 m, sometimes less, for 1000 vertical meters ! But Don found the right way. Just what I needed !
