East Ridge

Type: 
Alpine
Description: 
From the Hopkins Valley opposite the Dodger Fan, climb through the beech forest to reach the east ridge. The route stays close to the ridge crest throughout. The first ascent party reported reasonable quality rock as the route steepened and narrowed near the top, but subsequent ascentionists have disagreed with that assessment. Alternative access is from the head of the North Elcho, or from Thomson Stream. To low summit, Selwyn Grave, Neil Markham, Scott Russell, Edgar Williams, 1933. First east-west traverse, Des Beatty, Alan McNaught, Jim McNulty, Ray Slater, April 1956.
