| The Southern Crossing is a classic 32 km route across the Tararua mountain range just north of Wellington, New Zealand that many Wellingtonians and others from further afield undertake. | |

N.B. This crossing is an alpine crossing and should not be
attempted by those without adequate experience. The section between Alpha Hut and Kime Hut
is extremely exposed and subject to rapid weather changes. Always check weather forecasts
and carry adequate equipment. See: cautionary tale |
