The staffs of this service were quite nice people:) they expained about that course, and you can borrow the boots or poles for free if you need.
After it,they provided ice creams☺ that was good ending of my day haha
Tongariro is not too difficult but still not easy too. Especially when I went there, there was so strong wind. That's very dangerous, I concerned to going back down seriously but that was also difficult tobme so I decided to just go forward to survive. If you think it is too dangerous to keep going, just give up. That doesn't mean that you are a coward or so weak. Safety is the most important.
