Complete East Ridge

First ascent
Craig Jefferies, Steve Skelton, Kyle Walter 6 Feb 2021
Located on

Cross the Lake Marian Track Bridge off the Hollyford Road and go directly through the forest to the base of the ridge. Follow a vegetated weekness left (south) under obvious cliff, then back right, then left again to reach the bush line (about 4 hrs). Then follow the ridge for about 9km to all summits.
The black cliff with slabby base that protects the final part of the E ridge to the true summit has yet to be climbed and has been bypassed by all known parties to the north.
There is a good bivy platform on the west side of the ridge about 200m N of the summit.

Note: the photo is from Key Summit and shows the line of first ascent which also took in Mt Crosscut and Barrier Peak. There is a descent to Cirque Creek from near Christina’s north summit.
