North East Ridge | 3- |
|
||||||||
Mt Strauchon is most frequently climbed by gaining height along the Main
Divide from Brodrick Pass until rocky bluffs force climbers onto the south
east slopes. Alternative acess is across the McKenzie Creek face then
upwards on solid rock and snow filled gully to reach a point 150m east of
summit. The route joins 4.15 and requires a delicate traverse across the
final 150m of ridge to the high point.

South East Face | 3- |
|
||||||||
From Brodrick Hut cross the alpine meadows to reach the lower snowslopes. A
route on the southern edge of the glacier leads upwards near the south ridge
to reach the crest and the traverse to the high point. Conditions on the
traverse can vary from a rather loose and narrow rocky ridge, to a
pencil-thin icy arête. Take gear appropriate for the expected conditions.
