Mt Trent was the scene of one of New Zealand's worst alpine accidents in 1937 when a roped party of three climbing on the south face were dislodged by a falling stone and fell to their deaths. The accident and the three climbers, G M Edwards, S D Divers and T R B Stevenson, are commemorated by the naming of Memorial Glacier and a memorial at Monument Hut in the lower Hopkins Valley.

Gain height initially on the western side of the ridge on easy ground, before getting onto the ridge proper around 2050m. Most difficulties are then turned on the east side, with the odd small step climbed direct. Things lay back higher up. A final short scramble then leads to the summit.
