Routes in Aoraki / Mount Cook

Climb the left-facing crack with good protection. When that runs out, take a deep breath, traverse left a little and up the bolted slab above.

1 (30m): Gain the arete from the highest wee shelf on the left, clip the bolt, then continue up the arete. Note there is a hard to see bolt above the lip before you reach the bolted anchor, to the left of the grassy crack. 2 (15m): A short pitch up through the featured overlap, build an anchor. 3 (40m): Trend back left toward the arete and continue to a bolted belay at the big terrace.

1: Gain the El Nino arete then immediately traverse down and right to a bolted belay stance above the overhang. 2: Climb the bolted slab to below the notch then continue on gear and build an anchor around the base of the crack. 3: Climb the crack, narrowing from fists to thin hands before it disappears. Continue to a bolted belay at the big terrace.
