Climbing Mt Taranaki



January 1987: Evan (who was just six days shy of his 12th birthday) pausing on the first major scree field above the grassy slopes of the Manganui ski-field. The public shelter in which we’d spent the night is the smaller of the two buildings to the left of Evan’s head, while the car park where we’d left our car the previous evening can be seen above Evan’s head near the top of the picture.
