Proud Peak is essentially an outlier of Turner Peak and it seems odd that they are named separately. Here, and in the Aoraki Tai Poutini guide (2018) they are treated as one peak.
Routes
| Reference | Title | Grade | Length | Pro | Quality | Alert | Operations |

| South Face, II,4,WI2 | II,4,WI2 | 0m | |||||
|
Several routes about 250m long, which are easily accessible from Ball Pass. Most routes involve a combination of steep snow and up to WI2+ ice. Harder variants with WI3+ steps at the start are possible. Generally steep at first then onto 60 degree neve ramps with some small steps, 70-80 degrees max. Climb when conditions are fat, rock gear would be nix. Named Névé Névé Land by Jaz Morris in 2013 on what he thought was the first ascent.

From Ball Pass, or the snowfield below and east of the pass, pick a line up snow and rock slopes to the summit. A number of variations are possible. Refer to Chapter 3 for routes on the other aspects of Turner.
