Gorgeous photo. I’ve enlarged it a bit so we have a better visibility. Can you tell us how high is this mountain? Or the peak? It seems really high as you can see snow on the top.
How did you climb the hills? Do you often go hiking/climbing there? Have you prepared yourself before going to this mountain? Any tips for first time visitors?

It was challenging snow trek to Rakapoahi : Hints for New Hikers if you are new and going for hiking
advice from my side : bring extra socks! This is especially important if hike conditions are wet or the weather is rainy. Wet socks can make for a very uncomfortable hike
