Divers Col

The first crossing was made in the 1935-6 season by J. H. Gilkison and S. D. Divers who, after attempting the south ridge of Green from Climbers Col, crossed the west ridge and returned to the Tasman via this col. After the first ascent of Green from the west by D. A. Carty, L. J. Dumbleton, J. D. Willis and D. J. Stanton on the 2nd of January 1938, the party descended to their camp in the Spencer over the col, thus completing the second crossing. They suggested the name ‘Divers Col’ in memory of S. D. Divers, who had been killed in the Mt. Trent accident, 1937. (NZAJ 1955, p.127)
