RECORD FOR WOMAN
THREE P^AKS CLIMBED
By climbing the three peaks of Ngauruhoe, Tongariro, and Ruapehu in one day, Miss Ngaire Horton, of Wellington, has established a record equalled previously only by two parties of men and never by a woman, states a correspondent. Accompanied by Guide Kirk Johnston, Miss Horton left the Chateau at midnight on Sunday and returned at 10 o'clock on Monday night, taking only three hours longer than the record set last year. Conditions for the climb were excellent throughout, and the top of Ruapehu was reached at sunrise. The peak of Ngauruhoe was gained by midday, and the climbers were still fresh when they returned to the Chateau at 10 o'clock.
