North West Ridge

Pick a route up through the bluffs between Raspberry and Big Creeks, to gain the easy leading ridge. 200 to 300 metres below the summit a steep gut is crossed to give access to a better ridge on the south west side, which is then followed to the summit. The final 50m or so are on relatively exposed slabs. For permission to cross farmland you must contact Mt Aspiring Station manager Randall Aspinall, 03 443 7155.
