Tragedy Col

The preferred access route from the Dobson to the Hopkins Valley but named
for a fatal accident on the Dobson slopes on 1 January 1947. Access from the
Dobson Valley floor is made difficult by steep bluffs which are best
negotiated at a point near the upper edge of the large fan which pushes the
river over to the eastern side of the valley. The route begins opposite
Waterfall Hut and the beginning of the route is marked by a series of cairns.
