Hike with Me: Solo Hiking in the Tararuas | 25m steel ladder

So I tried to do the Steel Ladder between the twin peaks at the end of last year - but had to bail. And I did the same thing from the east instead of the west....a real shambles if you ask me but whatever. I did the ladder and that's that. -- 00:00 Otaki Forks 01:17 Field Hut 02:42 Main Range / Steel Ladder 03:10 Maungahuka Hut 03:59 Departing Maungahuka 05:02 First Attempt at Ladder | Waiohine Gorge 06:29 Winchcombe Ridge 06:46 Out to Otaki Forks from Kime -- Edited in Premier Pro Recent Walk shot on Sony A7IV with Sigma 18 - 70 f/2.8 + iPhone 11.

In 2022 I solo traveled around France & Italy for three months, and spent a few months living out of a van in the South Island of New Zealand. Join me for some fun discussions / films around travel, introspection and I suppose what they call 'coming of age' (at any age). I hope you'll find some information or inspiration in them that is useful to you!
