Mt Maunga Ma

Direct from the Mueller Glacier to the Ngakanohi Glacier and continue up the East Rib to the summit. Glacial retreat since the first ascent has made the lower part of this climb loose, unpleasant and quite dangerous.

From the Frind Glacier, use the rocks or avalanche cones near the Ngaroimata Falls, gain the glacier and traverse diagonally up the Ngakanohi Glacier to the East Rib which is followed direct to the summit up rotten rock (covered by snow early in the season).
