Mt Dark

Follow the south branch of Bush Stream up easy angled slopes directly to the summit.

Climb a rocky spur out of Bush Stream immediately down valley of the waterfall/basin below Mt Dark. A stiff scramble from there to the summit involving some full on climbing.

Follow the track on the south side of Dead Horse Stream then steadily gain height along a narrowing ridge to the summit.

Travel up Twin Stream past the impressive bluffs. At 1500m altitude, plod a line up to the permanent snowfield and on to reach the summit ridge west of the summit. A variation is to climb the narrow gully leading directly to the summit.

Mal Haskins, Saul

Access pitch to The Reality Bird Bath.

5 pitches of which pitches 4 and 5 can be seen from the road.

The name is borrowed from Johnny's favourite Noir Desir song meaning 'As (Life) Comes.' 'Comme Elle Vient' and 'Kapa O Panga' are two of the best ice routes I've climbed in New Zealand. Both are super classic Kiwi water ice routes, and should see some traffic in the coming seasons if they both form. Both solid WI5 by Canadian standards.

Johnny is at pains to say it was named by Mal.
