McClure Pk

From Terra Nova Pass, follow the ridge to Saint Winifred Col. From here climb snow and rock, bypassing a large rock buttresses on the eastern side.

From the upper Godley Glacier head up a tributary glacier to the Main Divide west of the peak. The West Face is fairly broad with relatively easy rock and scree slopes. This tributary glacier is likely to be cut off by crevasses at times, especially later in the season. A variation on this route has been used, approaching from Stewart Pass along the Main Divide snows of Malthus and Dennistoun. A second variation of this route is to approach from Dummy Col up the shingle bed of Eric Stream from the Havelock Valley. From Dummy Col, continue to Hidden Col, then cross snowslopes to a rib at about 2120m giving access to the same West Face.

From Hidden Col climb the glacier north of McClure Peak. At its head, follow a steepening couloir almost directly to the summit, or move on to shattered rock either side of the couloir.

From Terra Nova Pass climb the snow and rock south ridge, avoiding large rock buttresses on the eastern side, regaining the ridge about 200m from the summit. This is more difficult than it looks.

Climb directly from the head of the Godley using a tributary glacier to access the Main Divide west of the summit.
