Mt Patriarch

A good viewpoint and holding a commanding position over the Wangapeka River, the north summit of Patriarch is easily reached from Kiwi Saddle Hut (6 bunks, standard). Descend, cross a narrow razorback ridge, and climb up to the south summit. A good ridge trip is along the Arthur Range to Mt Baldy (1542m), Mt Gomorrah (1592m), and its associate Mt Sodom (1565m).
