North West Ridge

Climb the spur between Marks Flat and Murdock Creek to gain the extensive Hooker Glacier. Sidle the western summit on the Ōtoko side at about 2450m, across snowfields to an arête leading to the higher eastern peak. The ridge from the low to high peak has also been traversed on the ridge crest by Bruce Jenkinson and company in the 1960s but is significantly more difficult (III, 3+).
