Climb Paritutu Rock

Climb in Taranaki
Standing at a height of 156 meters, this ‘rock’ is a prominent feature in the New Plymouth scenery. It is the remains of a prehistoric volcanic crater that was active around 1.75 million years ago. Paritutu Rock is a fun but steep little climb, it gives great views of New Plymouth city and coast line.
