North Ridge

From the Good Luck Creek basin, ascend to and cross over Pt 1652m on the West Ridge, descending to the 1560m contour at the head of the unnamed stream below the northwestern slopes of Mt Franklin. From here sidle scree slopes in a northeasterly direction, aiming for the low point on the ridge between Mt Franklin and Pt 1806m. The ridge is mostly good rock scrambling (up to Grade 10) with moderate exposure to about three-quarters height. Here the ridge steepens with two 40–50m pitches of Grade 12, with one short section up to Grade 14 (although it may be possible to avoid this). The summit is a further 100m of about Grade 10 scrambling.
