Mt Xenicus

From the flats in Valley of Trolls, start climbing once past the worst of the boulder covered flank and gain the ridge. Once past the flat shoulder area, avoid any problems on the steeper upper ridge by using the north side as needed.

The North East Ridge can be reached from from the Valley of Trolls between Erebus and Xenicus, or from above Routeburn Falls huts by climbing to the southeastern spur and continuing across the next basin north to Pt 1722 metres on the ridge. Buttresses on the ridge can be avoided by sidling on the south side.
