Erin and Rod

About us

Erin Hawke• Born 1968 Nelson and raised on

a farm in the Tapawera area, I am the oldest of four children.

• My keen interest in the outdoors lead to climbing and work with DoC in Aoraki / Mt Cook National Park. While I worked as a ranger maintaining huts and tracks I was also part of the alpine rescue team for 6 years. Being involved in rescue was how I met Rod.

• I have climbed extensively in NZ including 3 assents of Aoraki/Mt Cook via differing routes.

• Over the next 10 to 15 years we plan to climb more extensively overseas.

• Rod Barker• The youngest of 10 children and

born in Rotorua 1969.

• I have been physically active from childhood and was introduced to the concept of alpine climbing by my Dad. His farther, auntie and uncle where keen climbers back in the 1920’s and 30’s.

• I have been keen on climbing since 1994 and climbed 11 of NZ’s 3000mter peaks and many more under that height.

• Next year Erin and I plan to climb Ama Dablam 6812mtrs. We also plan to climb several peaks over 8000mtrs on future trips to Asia.
