Description

Mount Peter gives some stunning views of its surrounding peaks especially commander glacier, Mount Farnham and Mount McCoubrey.

It's a pretty chill ascent up with few difficult steps and is more of a route finding exercise to find the best way up.

Its a chossy mountain with the the south ridge being a nice ridgewalk before getting into the scrambling.

The scrambling itself is mainly class 3 but ventures into class 4 terrain at times.

The exposure is rarely very much but has a couple sections where the exposure gets a little higher.

You can either descend the same way up or take a couloir on the south face which has a couple harder downclimbing steps.

The access is an active logging road with varying conditions.

4 wheel drive isn't required but probably isn't a bad idea.
