Accessed via Panorama (route 8.19), Bruce Murray (route 8.18), and Upton Peak (route 8.16). Upton can be turned on the north-east side. Beyond Upton, the predominantly snow ridge involves a narrow section of loose, black rock that leads onto the southern flanks then onto the summit. Alternatively, the rock face can be climbed directly, leading to the summit. The South East Ridge is the best descent route from Mt Moffat. P1 Alpine (Commitment) III Alpine (Technical) 2

P1 Alpine (Mt Cook) 2+ The first ascent party camped on the Nansen névé and crossed the west ridge of Cassino to access the Gino Watkins Glacier. The descent into the Gino Watkins was particularly steep. From theGino Watkins Glacier climb the west face of Pt 2543 metres to access the Main Divide southwest of Mt Moffat. The summit ridge was largely sidled on the left, returning to the Divide just below the top for a final arête. Reported as scrambling, with the odd pitch along the Main Divide.
