Geoff Spearpoint is one of New Zealand’s most experienced trampers, writers, and backcountry advocates. For decades he has explored some of the country’s most remote corners, helped preserve our huts and tracks, and inspired countless trampers through books, photography, and articles.
In this episode we talk about his beginnings in the Tararuas, youthful adventures that nearly went wrong, and the friendships that shaped his tramping life. Jeff shares stories of ambitious expeditions across Fiordland and the Southern Alps, surreal moments in the mountains, and encounters with kiwi and kakapo.
We also discuss the evolution of New Zealand’s hut and track network, the volunteer movement to preserve it, and the cultural importance of huts in our backcountry. Jeff reflects on climate change’s impact on glaciers, the rhythms of birdlife, and what still remains on his bucket list after a lifetime in the hills.
