South West Ridge

Climb to the col on the Shotover-Matukituki divide. An easy tussock and rock ridge, with snow on its south side, leads north east from the col to the final rock pyramid, which is normally climbed by the moderately steep, rather loose slabs of the West Face or the rocks of the South Ridge. For permission to cross farmland you must contact Mt Aspiring Station manager Randall Aspinall, 03 443 7155.
