Drummond Pk

A straightforward climb from Centennial Hut . The glacier ramp east of the Newton Rocks and St Mildred Peak enables access to the west ridge. A final 30m rock headwall before the summit needs to be negotiated. Stunning views of many Main Divide peaks, including the Spencer Face of Elie de Beaumont, can be enjoyed from the summit. In winter, this is an excellent half-day jaunt on skis.

There is no record of a complete ascent of Drummond Ridge, which rises from the junction of the Spencer and Callery valleys. The lower part of the ridge has been used as part of a route from Almer Hut via the Baird Range to Spencer Rock.
