Interesting climbing at Mt Darby 2531m

It's not all about Aspiring & Cook!

Tim Steward, NZMGA Climbing Guide is our master at finding out of the way and interesting places to climb.  Mt Darby which is climbed from Barron Saddle Hut is an interesting mixed route on snow and rock.  Far enough east of the main divide, it can get quite different weather patterns than those peaks further west.  Getting out is a traverse of the Sladden & Metelille glaciers and then the Annette Plateau & Sealy Range back to Mueller Hut for a sweet glissade off the tops down to Mt Cook Village.   

Enjoy the photos from the trip.
