First ascent
Stu Allan, Olly McCahon, February 1971
Located on
From the Whitcombe Glacier gain the ridge and traverse over loose rock to the
summit.
"Olly and I made a 16-hour return trip from a bivvy at the junction of the
Spence and the Landsborough. I think ours was the 5th ascent of the peak,
although I don't know how I figured that. Our ascent is noted in the CMC
Journal, no. 39 New Climbs, although it's incorrectly listed as the E Ridge
(the Townsend-Fettes ridge defines it). It was interesting on top because we
found a bottle with, as I recall, the first ascentionist's names from 1933,
and then we descended their route."
