- In this thrilling episode, Josh, Tim, and I break away from the Te Araroa Trail to tackle the challenging Northern Crossing in the Tararuas. The Northern Crossing is known for its rugged terrain and breathtaking views, making it a must-do for any adventurous hiker, in good weather!
However, the weather took a dramatic turn for the worse, and we found ourselves navigating sketchy ridges, climbing steep cliffs, and descending a 50-rung ladder in the midst of a storm. The conditions were so intense that I ended up with early-stage hypothermia, but thankfully, we made it to a hut where I could warm up.
We took a much-needed zero day in the hut, waiting for the weather to clear. Once the skies brightened, we carried on through the Goblin Forest to Nichols Hut, ready for the next part of our adventure.
This episode is packed with adrenaline and showcases the raw beauty and challenges of the Tararuas. Don’t miss it!

And for all those people that watch this and don't leave a Like and Sub and Comment, what are you even doing with your life!?!
Exactly!
Lauren you are The best
Goblin forest in snow is something else. Glad you guys are all good never underestimate NZ s crazy changable weather. And nice footage. Capture the Tararuas vibe beautifully.
Thank you! This was a very unique section!
literally cool footage capture.
Wow.
It's unbelievable .
Glad your all alive, lauren.
Thanks!
That must be a really great and challenging trail to hike on a beautiful day. Of course even more challenging and dangereous on the dat you did it. I'm glad you had a hut at the end and that you decided to stay out there a day.
Mother Nature can be in predictable.
Good one Lauren! 😊
Couldn't agree more!
I couldn’t do what you do. Not sure if I’d want to do what you do. But I love watching you do what you do.
Another great video. Stay safe. Happy trails.
Thank you! This was a tough section with some crazy curveballs. Glad you enjoyed it
Glad you made it to that hut. The Tararuas are dangerous, and I'm surprised that you filmed it in those conditions, honestly.
Yep the weather was crazy! Was happy to see the hut for sure :) and I try to share as much as I can of this experience- even the crazy parts!
What a section to hike! I'd be on all fours dragging my pack on those slopes. The WIND!! Great to see you all made it with a smile on your face. Happy hiking and thanks for taking us along on your "detour" hike.
I was definitely crawling in some sections when the drop offs on each side got too steep! There were more than I few times I slipped and fell as well. It was treacherous out there! Glad you enjoyed coming along for the ride.
Perfect time to be down to one pole! Not dangerous at all... note to self: don't let your mom see this episode! Those ridges were insane and that Goblin Forest? Come on!
I was really missing that second pole on this stretch 😭 but that goblin forest was so magical
And that right there my friends is the Tararuas !! Best video of the Goblin Forrest ever (just magical) 💯👏
Thank you! Glad I was able to capture its magic 🪄
Wow, that alternante route was really beautiful until the winds and the rain hit. I'm glad yall made it through ok. Such crazy weather yall have gone through. Great video. I'm glad the hypothermia was not to serious
The TA sure has some intense weather! Glad we all made it through in one piece! :)
Music good in the Goblin forest.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow that was so good. One of my favorite episodes. Some sketchy shit right there, plus awesome and beautiful as well. Always good to see Elmo pop up as well 😆. Great team effort too. Good job girl!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :) I had fun, mostly in hindsight 😅
I've done Burtons Track, and the manawatu gorge, the other end of the Tararua's and I want to do this, but in the summer!
Haha yes- I think summer would definitely be better!
A particularly wonderful segment, with video sections so well matched with music!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I know you don't mind solo hiking but what a great time having two people along to entertain you, help film, and keep you going when it's raining and cold!!!
Absolutely! I was very glad to do this with those two, and so nice to have some help filming it- I never would have gotten so much footage without them!
Travelling more than 1km per hour in the Tararua’s is fast 😆
Haha this is what I’ve learned 😅
Coucou (Bonjour !! 😊) oh my god so tiny in its huge mountains! With just one stick RIP 😑 Always amazing 😮😊
I was really missing my second hiking stick here!
You can see even in the north it can turn.
North of there the police sgt in charge of search and rescue was organising some training in hills for manawutu staff.
He had to be rescued as weather turned on him
I’m not surprised! The weather is intense through there!
Thats quite an adventurous detour right through the center of the range but if you've got above average fitness/experience, bit of extra food then its quite worth it. 1 day of fine weather in the Tararua's (thus far) isn't bad; I think in the history of hiking up there literally NO ONE has had fine weather the whole time (or even a lot of the time!)
Haha so true! They’re notoriously unpredictable
Well done the 3 of you. South Island shallie Rock. North Island muddy bog.
Thanks! It was a real adventure!
Lauren Roerick-Jupiter!!
Blimey!!!
Indeed! 😅
Excellent
👌🏼
Baptsim of fire.
🔥
Is this
Tolkien Lore
Yes!
The Tararua Range has a reputation for catching out even the most experienced trampers. Definitely not to be taken lightly, glad you seem to have enjoyed it overall.
It sure does! The wind was just crazy!
Isometrics and a "Nalgene Baby" would have kept you ok
You're a super "badass" though. I really appreciate your videos.
