| Lippe Couloir |
|
|||||||||
|
Early in the season it is possible to climb a large snow gully directly to the couloir from above the main waterfall and then continue to the East Ridge. Bluffs are exposed by the melting snowfields later in the season, after which it is possible to reach the couloir by climbing tussock slopes above the main waterfall on the true right and traversing across and down to the base of the couloir. From where the Lippe Couloir joins the East Ridge scramble through a few short rock steps to the summit.
Bill Grave, Arthur Talbot, Jack Lippe, Dec 1913.

| Dale Point Ridge |
|
|||||||||
|
Follow the ridge from Dale Point to the summit.
Dale Point, at the entrance to Milford Sound, can only be reached by boat with a landing onto rocks that can be tricky in a heavy swell. A trail was marked in the 1960's but has probably now disappeared. A long ascent requiring several attempts.
Jack Ede, Brian Fineran, Colin Benton, Ron Chapman, Dec 1961.

Follow the rocky ridge up from the north col (lowest point in the range north
from Mt Pembroke); mostly exposed scrambling but a couple of short rock steps
(grade 12-13).
Grant Dixon, Ian Brown, Feb 2016. On the first ascent, the north ridge was climbed as part of a traverse of the mountain, ascending to the north col from the Thurso River and descending the east ridge.
