  • P1
  • Alpine (Mt Cook) 2

From Peg Col this route is harder and much longer than the South Ridge, involving a steep scramble from the col with some route finding. The ridge eases off before the summit.

SR SRSouth Ridge, 1 1 0m
0
  • P1
  • Alpine (Mt Cook) 1

A slog along the ridge, encountering a false summit before the top.

 North West Ridge, via Washbourne Ck., 1 1 0m
0
  • P1
  • Alpine (Mt Cook) 1

Reach the ridge south-east of Pt 2347 metres and follow it to the summit. The ridge can also be reached via a small glacier east of Peg Col.

 West Face, 2 2 0m
0
  • P1
  • Alpine (Technical) 2

The west face can provide much quicker access to the summit than the long south ridge. Snow slopes (up to 45 - 50°) up a broad couloir lead to the south ridge 200m south of the summit. Watch for rockfall, particularly out of a gully to climbers right near the bottom of the face.
