Boulder 3m The Airstrip
{UIAA} UIAA:3 Guideless Buttress

Quality alpine scramble doable in a day from Mt Cook Villiage. NZ mountaineering grade 3, approximately Ewbanks Grade 8. Competent parties may be able to solo but a rope and some trad gear should probably be carried. Start either:

  • Scrambling up the scrub to the right of the buttress until gaining the ridge.
  • Direct up the buttress (approx 18/19)
  • following a stream on lookers left of the Buttress until it joins the route higher up.

See here for where the climb starts.
