Part of
Taranaki is overlooked by its solitary volcanic peak, rising 2518 metres above the surrounding farmland. For mountain and winter condition routes, see https://climbnz.org.nz/nz/ni/taranaki/taranaki-mt-egmont
There is excellent crag climbing, mostly trad at moderate grades but one or two harder sport routes. The crags are listed on this page. In summary:
- Humphries Castle, a broken spine of good rock
- Hongis Valley, for short climbs with easy access from Tahurangi Lodge
- Organ Pipes, for long sustained climbing on excellent rock
- Warwick Castle, lots of quality routes, short and long
- Tahurangi Bluff, only one route to date but a big one
- Bobs Bluff, a distant crag of variable rock quality
- Okahu Bluff, highest and largest crag on the mountain, but only a handful of routes
- Minarapa Valley, two pitch alpine style rock climbing, and
- Summit Crags, great climbs in a unique location.
