A demanding 2-day technical alpine route on New Zealand's highest peak via the classic Linda Glacier, requiring crampons, ice axe, and rope skills. Day one involves a glacier approach to Plateau Hut at 2,200m, while day two tackles the steep Linda Glacier snowfield and the exposed summit ridge to the 3,724m High Peak. The route demands competent crevasse navigation and is best climbed in the Southern Hemisphere summer when snow conditions are most stable.
