Main Divide

A popular route to one of the best viewpoints in the region. From Sefton Bivvy, ascend the Tewaewae Glacier and traverse northwards to cross the East Ridge at the level section, then work up the slopes of the Eugenie Glacier to reach the Main Divide. There are often large crevasses on the Eugenie. Once on the Divide, follow up the north-east snowslopes to the summit. There is often a small step right at the top. This is the regular descent route.
