South West Spur

Starting on the true right of the Douglas River at the downstream end of the gorge, bush bash up the spur directly to the summit. The first ascent party used an ascending sidle on the Douglas faces, slightly south of the spur. This route was blazed in 1951, which enticed enough people to the area to result in 17 people at Harpers Rock for a few days in early 1952! Traces of any route nowadays would be difficult to find. Not recommended.
