A classic alpine climb on New Zealand's most beautiful mountain. An ascent of Mt Aspiring/Tititea is one that exists with many ‘bucket lists’. This trip is about reaching a summit and in the process of the seven days, updating your technical mountaineering skills under the tutelage of a qualified guide.
No better way to up skill and learn. The peak is spectacular, very much the way we first draw a mountain. Its classical shape provides a number of ascent options and the NW ridge is a well established classic.
