Geoff Spearpoint began tramping in the Tararua Ranges when he was 15 and has followed a passion for transalpine tramping and climbing ever since. Initially trained in microbiology, he later worked for Mount Aspiring National Park and spent many years in prepress in the print industry. He wrote Waking to the Hills in 1986, and has edited a number of editions of Moirs Guide North (a tramping guide to the area between Mt Cook and the Hollyford), and with co-author Yvonne Cook, wrote The Canterbury Westland Alps, a climbing and transalpine guide. In 2019 his acclaimed collection of writing and photography, The Great Unknown: Mountain Journeys in the Southern Alps was published.
