Access

To reach the ice routes at Area A, walk approximately 3 hours from the main carpark, past the Routeburn Flats Hut and up the North Branch of the Routeburn.
On the True Right of the North Branch of the river, opposite the climbs, there is a great dry rock bivy. From the bivy to the base of the routes it's approximately 20 minutes walk. These routes can be done in a day trip from Queenstown and are on the west buttress of Mt Somnus, to the right hand side of the main gully.
