book: mt ruapehu to mt cook

https://publishizer.com/from-peak-to-peak/ On 1 December 2013, two men set out on a unique journey between New Zealand's highest mountains. On a shoe string budget and an equally tight time constraint, they traversed through some of the country's toughest and most rugged terrain, covering over 1400 kilometres with nothing more than a borrowed bicycle, some climbing gear, an inflatable kayak and in incredibly slim chance of success. On day 22, they reached the summit of Aoraki/Mt Cook, the highest peak in the country. 'From Peak to Peak' tells the inspiring story of mountaineers, Grant 'Axe' Rawlinson and Alan Silva's incredible human powered journey, from the summit of Mt Ruapehu to the summit of Aoraki/Mt Cook. It is testament that it takes just one crazy idea - and a 'can do' attitude - to get started on the adventure of a lifetime.
22 days?! Took me 35 just from Picton ... and I thought I was going at it hard! AND that's just to the bottom.
Ah. Just reread n spotted the bit about the bicycle! That makes more sense.
