Age Glacier Face (South Face)

Take the right side of the Age Glacier avoiding the rock steps of the South East Ridge. A good early season route. The Age Glacier route was used in the first traverse of Mt Tūtoko by Bill Blee, Ron Dickie, Bill Gordon and Ralph Miller in January 1955. The party descended the North West Ridge to the Donne Glacier and returned over Turners Pass. Turners Pass is now a more involved route due to glacial recession on the Donne Glacier side.
