Paritutu Rock is an adventurer's dream! This 15 minute climb requires a good level of fitness but is worth it for the breathtaking views of New Plymouth city, Mt Taranaki, Back Beach, the Sugar Loaf Islands and much more. Half of this climb is a bit of a scramble and chain assisted, so not for those scared of heights.
