East Ridge

The first ascent traversed the ice-field northeast of Liverpool and Islington Dome from Arawhata Saddle then climbed the east ridge. There appears to be no record of a complete ascent from Shovel Flat although the upper part of the ridge was climbed on January 16, 1970, by Brian Chalmers, Jill West, Judy Knewstubb, Rod McKenzie and Don Murray, who gained the ridge by traversing across the Christopher Johnson Glacier.
