| The South Ridge. | II 2 |
|
||||||||
|
Climb to the ridge by way of a clearing through the bush, across the river and slightly downstream from Wilson’s Camp. From the crest of the ridge cross into a basin on the west side of the South Ridge of Rob Roy and traverse across this into a second basin to reach the foot of a mixed snow and rock ridge leading to the summit. The climb requires about 10 hours from Cascade Hut to the summit and a bivvy high on the slopes opposite Wilson’s Camp would be desirable.
Ernie Smith, Brian Hill, Bob Fullerton, Les Buddicom, Don Divers, George Edwards, and Russell Edwards, Dec 1934.

| The West Face. | II 2 |
|

|
There appears to be no problem in forcing a route up through steep bush into the snow tussock basins below the peak, from where there are a variety of interesting looking rock routes to the summit.
A direct ascent was made from Aspiring Hut in seven hours by Jim Millson, Feb 1976.

5 pitches with zilch gear up the snowy middle of the face. Some short near
vertical steps mostly 50+ degrees and ok. Tricky to get to summit along ridge
