Lindsays Ledges

Climb the slabs on the eastern side of the Lake Turner outlet and traverse below the West Ridge of Te Wera. Lindsay’s Ledges drop diagonally down to the north from Karetai Col on broken rock and tussock, and then drop more steeply down a slabby corner (a rope may be helpful and can be abseiled to descend, with double 60m ropes – this is marked by the break in the while line on the topo). The bottom of this corner is steep and damp, rather than descend all the way it's best to traverse out – a narrow ledge with solid handholds leads across to rock slabs.
