Mt McPherson

Type
Altitude
1931m

Often climbed as part of a traverse from Homer Saddle to Gertrude Saddle.
McPherson Cirque, below, has good winter routes.
The east facing cliffs to the left of Macpherson Cirque which finish below Talbot’s Ladder have a number of long gullies which form up occasionally to give quality winter climbing. They also have the advantage of quick easy access and a safe descent down Talbot’s Ladder to Homer Saddle.
Macpherson was named ‘Snowball’ by Grave and Talbot on the original ascent. On a fine day the summit provides panoramic 360 degree views of the mountains of Fiordland.
