The lesser-known Fanthams Peak is a parasitic\/secondary cone formed on the South side of Mt Taranaki\u2019s main cone. While it is less popular and more challenging than Mt Taranaki Summit Track, Fanthams Peak has become one of my most memorable climbs in the North Island.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ae0c1b elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"2ae0c1b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"width:100%;height:auto;text-align:center;\">\r\n    <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"height:auto;border:0;\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/mrIBZiAhnFVS7p841ZrJMEv8os279mxlJtr_HAS6jkMTnV0FZsBglzlpc2f7xHNqoybBFC54otge_K3Wx0Mzq3XgRCa_91yrGBoQDJQKByE62MwioZX6V_9SVMzPCiB7z_rkI4BX0HM=h480\" alt=\"Syme Hut and Mt Taranaki\"\/>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-202222e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"202222e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, the climb to Fanthams Peak provides the opportunity to stay overnight at the spectacular Syme Hut.

spotted these 3 climbers tackling the ice-covered slope of Mt Taranaki. I later met them in Syme Hut as we shared the accommodation for the night. They were doing a trial and testing their gears for next morning\u2019s attempt to summit Mt Taranaki via Syme Hut Track. It was in mid spring and most of the ice and snow hadn&#8217;t melted yet, so ice axes, crampons, and the technical skills to use it are necessary to climb Mt Taranaki at this time. As I do not have the gears and experience, I didn\u2019t go for the summit climb. I did summit Mt Taranaki in early summer, when there was still quite some ice on the upper mountain.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a7e59c4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a7e59c4\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8bb3b93\" data-id=\"8bb3b93\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6b191a7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"6b191a7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"width:100%;height:auto;text-align:center;\">\r\n    <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"height:auto;border:0;\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/6nk3zZzW3Y3QM7MW2o8fmKETqNhVYNgUQmHh7rDEW6Tj1aZSX8E-hGK3IF0NMgnmwJa07vMGYJ66GM5UCMvk-mYFzHQBtv31kOljGKmMdcCD_smevM9578HYsc3JdFjP1EJ1APHqLgo=h480\" alt=\"Syme Hut with Mt Taranaki at the back\"\/>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-386333d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"386333d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(+8)5.08pm: Arrive at Syme Hut. The original Syme Hut was first built in 1930, initiated by Mt Egmont Alpine Club captain, Rod Syme. The hut was prefabricated in Hawera and dismantled to be carried up Fanthams Peak. More than 150 trips were made before it was ready to be assembled, which took only three days. EBy 1986, events such as closure during WWII, and years of snow and ice build-up meant the 57-year old hut was beyond repair. In conjunction with the Department of Conservation, the club constructed this new Syme Hut in 1988.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8d47eb2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"8d47eb2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"width:100%;height:auto;text-align:center;\">\r\n    <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"height:auto;border:0;\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/LXKToTl7tND1Ikw-9rBWmWRTetckOpRl9laBwHiDs1LJR0gUCnT_lfVM2fPNv8Jg8vg22Js262SMn55QCM-iMiQUgsT_d5jlqo5POqmoOsbtBb-l7aJ3qLc8Ur2E3nnRQxKgsih1UCs=h480\" alt=\"Syme Hut interior\"\/>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b45316 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7b45316\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Basic yet cozy interior.
