It's worth climbing up the steep path to the top of Mount Paku, as the 360 degrees view from the top is wonderful.

First thing going up Karioi is to take some water to drink and a jacket as it can get cold and windy at times depending on weather. A lot of leg work here and a reasonable level of fitness is required. There is some fairly extensive stepping in this climb. You will be using both hands and feet to climb as you pull yourself up here and there. The odd chain and ladder to climb as well. All this makes it challenging but fun. At times you will be close to the edges but in a safe way. If its a windy day hold onto your hat or you'll lose it to the wind as mine flew over the side at great knots at the top. A tip here is to wear some gloves up to grab onto things. i have used hiking sticks but found them more of a nuisance. Depends on what makes you tick. Wear some good solid tramping boots or trail shoes. Be prepared for Mud on the track sometimes over a foot deep in places. If your careful you can navigate around this. Have fun and enjoy this scenic tramp.
