Kehu Pk

Altitude
2220m
Part of

All routes reached from the Begley and Rainbow valleys are steep, and probably best done as spring snow or ice climbs.
This magnificent peak has some of the best climbing in the park, with nice rock on the normal summer route, and more difficult winter and spring climbs. It is the only major Travers Valley peak visible from Lake Rotoiti, and is named after Thomas Brunner’s Maori guide Kehu (or Ekehu) without whom his epic 18 month journey from Nelson to Paringa would have been impossible.
