Fri 17 to Sun 19 November

Broderick Pass / Mt Mckenzie (Huxley Valley)

Grade: Moderate Plus 

 Drive down to Huxley Lodge near Aoraki/Mt Cook Friday morning and walk in to Fork huts for Friday night.Saturday walk up to Brodrick Pass and for some stop there and others may climb Mt McKenzie (2156m). Return to Brodrick hut (or Forks hut) for the night, then on Sunday walk out and drive home.

 This tramp requires a 2 hour walk down a 4WD track to the start at Monument Hut, so a suitable vehicle would save a bit of time if one was available (or mountain bike). Ice axe and crampons essential for those wanting to climb Mt McKenzie. 3 huts close together and the river is bridged so very safe tramping. Maps Ohau H38 & Tasman H37. Moderate tramp and easy mountaineering.
