Can all be climbed easily from the Tasman Valley. Mts Mabel and Rosa provide pleasant climbing up the valley above Husky Flat, but beware of avalanches in spring and early summer. A cut, cairned track exists on the true right of cove stream gorge up to the basin, unmarked on the map. Excellent for descent and a nice alternative to Ball Pass. See topo.

A broken, blocky ridge on variable rock in summer. Dropping to the basin is almost always faster in good conditions.
