North East Ridge

Mt Strauchon is most frequently climbed by gaining height along the Main
Divide from Brodrick Pass until rocky bluffs force climbers onto the south
east slopes. Alternative acess is across the McKenzie Creek face then
upwards on solid rock and snow filled gully to reach a point 150m east of
summit. The route joins 4.15 and requires a delicate traverse across the
final 150m of ridge to the high point.
