Unless you're the first group into the lodge for the season or arrive immediately after a big snowfall, there should be a skin track already set from the previous team. If there isn't, climb gradually westwards from the lodge to reach the peak's west ridge. Follow this (sticking just to the right of the crest so as to avoid the large cornices to the north) all the way to the summit. The skin up is beautiful in good weather, and there's cell/internet signal all the way up, so it's a good spot from which to send photos and make your friends envious of your day!

Like many of the peaks around the Ymir lodge, there is some discrepancy between the official name shown on maps, and the name given to this peak on the lodge's own printed map. The map in the lodge refers to this as South Seeman Peak, but our map (and most others online) refer to it as South Qua Peak. Regardless of its official title, it's hard to miss and provides some wonderful face and tree skiing right above the lodge!
