Arthurs Pass Spezial

This guide covers a large area, incorporating Arthur’s Pass National Park, Craigieburn Forest Park, and Korowai / Torlesse Tussocklands Park. It also extends beyond these boundaries to take in summits on nearby ranges, thereby complementing the Canterbury Westland Alps guidebook to the south-west. This edition contains all new routes documented since the 2012 edition, and coverage of all routes and mountains briefly described in earlier editions has now been expanded and more fully described. This guide strives to get you to your chosen climb, provide just enough information to navigate the route successfully and find your way down, without providing ‘blow by blow’ accounts. Points of interest such as historical detail and cautions that need be heeded are provided. Beautifully illustrated with hundreds of colour photos and route diagrams, and with clearly described access options for popular climbing locations, this is the essential guidebook for anyone planning a trip into this special area of New Zealand’s Southern Alps / Ka Tiritiri o te Moana.
