We went up Mt Iron just after New Year, with every other man and his dog

It was a stinking hot day (probably one of the very few so far this summer) and everyone was out doing the walk. We did the loop around Mt Iron, starting off by walking anti-clockwise around the base and then up to the top. The views of Wanaka and the mountains were amazing from the top. From the top we headed down the steeper way. Took us about 1.5 hours, I think, at our leisure.
