New Zealand is a country dominated by mountains and the most prominent of these are the focus of this book. Some of these peaks, such as Aoraki/Mt Cook, Mt Aspiring, and the graceful volcanic cone of Mt Egmont are well known. Others are more obscure, such as the massive Mt Tutoko in the wilds of Fiordland, or the remote Mt Evans in Central Westland.
