This is a magnificent loop hike in Arthur's Pass National Park, Northwest of Christchurch. The trail is a steep rocky climb, with passages that might require walkers to use their hands to climb. The mountainous landscapes are spectacular throughout the hike and the summit offers breathtaking vistas. The top is exposed and surrounded by abrupt cliffs.

This hike is in an avalanche prone zone and needs to be attempted only in the best meteorological conditions.
