List for six-day hike to yo-yo the Six Foot Track or Mt Solitary loop 2023; adjustable for similar cold-weather conditions, e.g. Taranaki in shoulder seasons (or summer given Taranaki variability!).
Yellow star = already own Red star = yet to purchase Green star = weather dependent, or otherwise unsure if needed, so marked at n=0 until known No star = I forgot to pick a star.
