Mt Crosscut

(31 routes)

Mt Crosscut’s four peaks have a variety of climbing close to Homer Hut. In summer the peaks are good long moderate alpine routes; in winter, the southern aspects in Cirque Creek hold the test pieces of Darrans winter climbing. The East Pk can also be reached by long routes from the Marian valley.

Altitude: 
2263m
Type: 
Mountain
Access: 

All the peaks were first climbed via the bluffs opposite Homer Hut: climb tussock slopes to the left-hand gully, moving up right to the second gully and the snowfields above.
Descent down the bluffs can be difficult in snow or poor visibility.
