Nice pics, well done on the climb too. Am local and both names of the mountain can be used. Some still prefer Egmont as that's what it was named. Its not incorrect to use Egmont though. Wonder what it was named before Taranaki.
Cheers

You sure covered a lot of ground when you were here in Aotearoa (land of the Long White Cloud). Climbing Mt Taranaki is no mean feat, and great to see you called it by the correct name (many still call it Mt Egmont). You sure must have been super-fit!
I really enjoyed your album
