🇳🇿 My attempt at climbing a volcano | MOUNT TARANAKI | New Zealand

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 พ.ย. 2020
- All my life I have been curious about what it would be like to climb the majestic volcano of Mount Taranaki. Not exactly the right season for climbing just yet, I thought I would see how far I could get as a novice mountaineering enthusiast.
This was the first video of many as I make my way to the northern most tip of the North Island of New Zealand.

Thank you so much for sending out the responsible message, mountains are not to be messed with. It looked scary the nearer you got to the summit and two experienced climbers lost their lives in May 2021 on there. I did the Ben Lomond in Queenstown in snow and got to the saddle and turned around as felt unsafe attempting the summit in snow and icy conditions.
Hey Cassie thanks for watching. I was beyond devastated when I heard the recent news about the two experienced climbers who had passed away up Taranaki. I remember wanting to push on and summit Taranaki but had heard of the tragic stories and knew better not to. I had planned on returning but I injured my knee a month after. Maybe one day :)
Glad to hear you knew your limits on the Ben Lomond track - it just isn’t worth the risk in subzero conditions. Stay safe 😃
@@FinnDelMundoTravel Thanks so much Finn! Stay safe too :)
Breathtaking !
Thanks Judy! I agree 🤩
That such great view and the track beautiful and so hard but so worth it .u did so well get far up .smart thinking turn back .it good to super prepare .I been look forward to new video .
Cheers Sophie! Next video is ready to upload, all I need now is a place with wifi 😅
Big climb there bruice! You will have to get nana Cath to take you on one of her famous walks and cuppers when you head north!
Ha!! That’s the training I am holding out for, I should be good to go after walking the streets of Keri with nana! Excited to see her this week (Steph & Ron as well)
Great that you turn around without the supplies. Im anxious to check the van! Haha great job Finn, always.
Thanks Rodrigo! Editing the next one as we speak. I did Karekare yesterday and thought of the time you went there 😀
@@FinnDelMundoTravel the black sand that I love! Hope to be back there! 😍
Enjoyed the view but didn't realise how gnarly the track gets further up. Those scoria boulders would have been hard to negotiate and would undoubtedly slow you down heaps.
Looking forward the the Three Sisters . . .
She was a tough trek. Good thing I turned around when I did I’d say. Editing three sisters video as we speak.
You need to take your 'Tenzing' up there to achieve that climb. But good try! We loved the video as always, keep it up. 👍
Cheers Chris! Say hi to the family from me. 😀 Three Sisters video out as soon as I can find wifi access. It’s edited and ready to go.
Sabes me gusta mucho la vegetación y el paisaje chingona tu camioneta tiene lo necesario saludos desde Guadalajara Jalisco México
La vegetacion es super rara! Como de otra planeta no!? Me encanta mucho.
So close man! I’ve always wanted to climb that mountain!
Haha it was a shame I didn’t make it - next time!! If you want to do it in Jan, let me know 🤪. It’s brutal but definitely possible Jaja.
Well done mate
Cheers!! One day I’ll make it to the summit 😃!!
So pretty! I love the Mexican stuff you have in the van, looking forward to seeing more videos as your journey continues! Saludos desde Puerto Vallarta!
Saludos amigo!!! Gracias por ver. You can tell that despite being back home, I try to surround myself with everything Mexican. It’s like I am torn between both countries 😅!! Hope you’re well and living up large on an all inclusive day cruise there in PV 🥂
Woo i have made it to the summit. I was a lot younger lol
Wowza how old were you!? I have a lot of respect for anyone who has made it to the summit.
Maybe 20 ish
Awesome Finn the mountain was not ready for you to finish the climb, the mists were rolling in. Can not wait to see the January attempt.
Thanks Vix! You would me mortified at my van curtains! I ran out of time to have them made professionally (by you) so took to material with my craft knife, staple gun and attached them to dowling 😅
Nice work man, keep it up. I'm looking forward to seeing more
Cheers for watching!! 🤩 I’ll do as many videos as I can sporadically.
Awesome finn. You'll be running up to the top next time with new hiking boots 👢🏃♀️
Thanks 🤩 next time: boots and 2-3 litres more water!!
Bro, this was a great video! Glad to see you turn around when your body told you it had enough. Do you ever wonder how much Baz got paid to be the face of Egmont National Park?
Haha I hadn’t wondered that! He’s a legend of the mountain! I really want to return one day soon to complete that mountain 😃👌
@@FinnDelMundoTravel I did the Around The Mountain Circuit recently - well, almost. Didn't quite make it around. I still haven't done the summit though, so will head back in the summer.
Excelente video Finncito! Veo que sigues con tu van, que bien! Ver este video me dio ganas de comprarte unas botas para escalar montanas ya que vas a encontrar muchas en tu vida y buenas botas hace mucho mas facil y agradable el camino. Me encanta ver esa parte de NZ y estoy esperando ver el proximos video. Buen Camino!!
Gracias Maria-Isabel 😃!! Subiste monte Taranaki?! Mi video siguente es bonita, Las Tres Hermanas 👌👌👌. Casi lloré cuando las ví 😭
keep it up bro.cheers :)
Thanks man 😃✌️
So beautiful✨
It sounds so cold with snow!
Nice work👍
Cheers! Surprisingly it wasn’t cold at all with the extreme exercise needed to ascend. The snow will melt in the next month or two which is when I’ll be back to try again 🤩. Thanks for watching 👍👍
Great video Finn! I cracked up at "how difficult is the walk"? I've never been to Taranaki, looks beautiful! Looking forward to the next video my bro!
Cheers man!! You NEED to go one day, it has some unreal scenery and the people I met were really hospitable!
Amazing views! I remember Ruapeho and the other one that I can't remember how to spell from the Tongariro Crossing! Brings back so many memories!
I’m doing the Tongariro crossing in a few weeks David! So it will be a trip down memory lane. Right now with no international tourism, it feels like NZ used to feel in the mid 90s / early 2000s. 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
@The Tao of David - Ruapehu and Ngauruhoe.
So happy to see you getting out and posting again! I also have Mexican stuff in my car.. Just need those reminders to get me heading back soon. The mountain trek looked very Beautiful.. I always drink a lot of water when Hiking, so my biggest challenge is Packing in enough water. After checking out those volcanic rocks I would say a basic First Aid kit also Not a bad idea! Even some good elastic and a bendable support incase of break or sprain... I did break my ankle once :( Anyways... Great job! I really loved looking at the colored stones in the area where you found the spider, I would be picking those up for further examination Geology is so fascinating!! Keep up the great work!!! Mil Gracias
Thanks so much for the message! Apologies for the giant stall of videos. Post travel blues and a mistake return to my previous job slowed me down but I am free again now after finishing up and focusing full time on travel vlogging :)
I’m such a nerd and took a small rock of every colour with me for momentos. I love rocks - will have to do a video when I return to my hometown of the pyramid I made down at the river a decade ago. It’s still there to this day!!
Next time 100% I’ll have everything I need including a bigger bag, first aid kit and more food / water. When you broke your ankle were you remotely on a mountain trail? Sounds painful!!
Oh the Mexican decorations in my car help me sleep at night. I can pretend I never left with them around me 😅😍. Do you know when you will be down these next? I hope to be there within the next 6 months - year :)
@@FinnDelMundoTravel Looking forward to seeing your pyramid! I am crazy about rocks,, I get that from my dad. It just so happened when I learned about mushrooming, I was telling my dad and he quickly said "let's go" So I took him to a rather remote, and steep mountain, which was a bad idea because he was only 1 year post "heart attack" .. we were excited to head down a very steep area in the forest when I decided to jump like a deer. LOL I landed on branches that broke through along with my ankle... but I didn't know it was fractured... My dad helped me back up the mountain and later as the swelling went down and Pain came then I went to the doctor for X-rays... Sorry that was a long story! :D
@@FinnDelMundoTravelmy car has 3 very different Rosaries from amazing churches , the prettiest is from Chignahuapan is a town in Mexico’s southeastern state of Puebla. It’s known for the Basílica de la Inmaculada Concepción and its huge figure of the Virgin Mary, carved from cedar.
@@hivolco151 I have taken a screen shot of all these places you mentioned and added them to my list of locations next time I go! They sound great and so do your momentos from those locations!
Hey Mister Traveller ❤️ Such an amazing video.. Loved it !
Your content is getting better day by day.. Waiting for next one 🤩
Himanshu! Thanks man, hope you’re well!! Glad you liked the video 🤩👌
If you arrive again to Mexico: you have to visit the mexican's volcanoes (Nevado de Colima, Orizaba etc.) Are you up to Australia? Do you know to Australia?
Finn, a great video but you should mention in the title that Mount Taranaki is in New Zealand. The last time I saw you you were in Mexico. Taranaki doesn't sound very Mexican but I had never heard of it. But then I am not that familiar with the geography of New Zealand.
Hey Ray longtime since you commented :) You must have missed my video I did from quarantine which did have “NZ” in the title. Very valid point which I’ll be sure to edit next time I have better internet access. Currently in remote north land of NZ with very little wifi access. Hope you’re well in Portugal!
Hey Finn ! Did you work in town in those apartments in queen street?
Hey Ron!! No it could be my doppelgänger; I work for Heineken 😃
Hey Finn awesome video man, loving your travel videos. next time you swing through upper hutt you should do a trip out to the Akatarawas, world's oldest Rata trees out there massive trunks and putangirua pinnacles in the Wairarapa is pretty cool too, a whole nother world out there you'd love it.
Cheers Dom! When I’m back down there you’ll have to show me the oldest Rata trees in Akatarawas! Funny you mention the pinnacles, they are on my list this summer to visit - I want to fly the drone around them if weather permits! 🤩
Words of wisdom beyond his few years. 👍🏻
Thanks Rick!! 😃
amazing view!!!!
Cheers for watching Ivan!!
Ditch the cotton hoodie. You need nylon or wool for the outdoors. Cotton is a poor insulator and will suck the heat out of you.
Chur bro. Just commented on your first Vlog then watched all your vids. I bet your feeling the same as we did returning to nz sooner then expected. Mexico is amazing and one of my favorite places. Check out our blog churkiwi.com and sing out if your keen for a catch up and yarn on travel and mexico.
Hey Carl! Definitely keen in the new year! I’ll check out your vlog now - I was thinking today if there were any others in NZ doing YT that might be keen to collaborate so this message from you is a sign! 🤩
Its a long way to the top if you forget your first aid kit
Agreed!! I won’t make that mistake when I go back in January 👍
What's all those empty cans I saw in back of your van
Hi, may I know on which month do you hike this mountain?
The safest months are December through to the end of February. Basically once the snow melts 😃
@@FinnDelMundoTravel I plan to hike next week, not sure is a good choice 😅
@@hooifen96 check with the rangers first. The day you leave, check in at the carpark hut to see if conditions are ok 😃 Experienced hikers will need cramp ons if the snow and ice remain.
If you have a dog or a cat take one with you good company , cats adore climbing don’t underestimate cat intelligence the know how to get it right 😸🐕
I believe you! Unfortunately no pets are allowed in National Parks anywhere in NZ 😅!!
