Access the névé of the Whataroa Glacier. Cross this and climb to the Butler Range, aiming for
the saddle immediately east of Mt Whataroa. About 200 metres of rock scrambling leads to
the summit.

This 800-metre buttress is visible from
the road bridge. Grass on the lower half
of the route lets the climb down, but
can be largely avoided by using a snow
gully on the right. This gives access to
a ramp/ledge leading out left onto the
buttress proper. A difficult section of
steep rock follows, where there is still
some moss and grass. Eventually, solid
rock climbing on schist slabs offers much
better going. These lead to the summit
crags. Climbing potential also exists on
the pinnacle between Mt Whataroa and
Tohunga Peak.
