Mt Tyndall

Type
Altitude
2496m

When Tyndall was first climbed by Frank Wright and J R Simpson on February 21, 1914, from the Dart Valley, mention was made that it had been ‘partially ascended’ previously, and indeed in 1922 Professor James Park claimed that Alexander McKay, John Buchanan and himself had climbed it in 1881, along with Mt Edward, Mt Ansted, and ‘all the high peaks to the south’ [of Hector Col]. McKay’s account on the other hand, written a few months after their expedition, makes it clear that they only went as high as ‘Red Rock’ on Tyndall, and indicates that Park’s claims to this and the other ascents were probably embellished with the passage of time.
