There was a large rockfall from the Haast-Dixon Ridge and the face below in January 2013. This doesn’t appear to have affected any recorded routes on Mt Haast or Mt Dixon, but the area is likely to be unstable for a while. At least three variations exist on the Plateau Face of Mt Haast, all commencing from the névé between Syme Ridge and Mt Dixon. Climb 400m of steepish ice and then, depending on conditions and inclination, head: (i) left through the ice bulge, (ii) directly up through the icecliff, or (iii) right via ice gullies through a rock band. |
