The High Pathways – A Guide to Te Waipounamu’s Mountains

“The High Pathways is for everyone who loves the mountains - from those taking their first alpine steps to those returning after years away,” said co-author Paul Hersey. “We hope it encourages people to get out, connect deeply with the landscape, and care for these remarkable places.”

 Full of stunning full-colour photography, The High Pathways captures both the challenge and joy of exploring New Zealand’s alpine regions. It continues NZAC’s long tradition of supporting safe, inclusive, and sustainable mountaineering adventures.

 NZAC General Manager Karen Leacock said, “This publication reflects our mission to promote climbing at all levels. The Herseys’ passion and experience shine through, wrapping each place in story while also giving specifics to assist with a successful outing. It’s a book that will inspire confidence and curiosity in anyone who’s ever looked up at the mountains and wondered what it’s like to stand among them, and we are very proud to add it to the range of guidebooks we offer.”
