Hi there. I was hoping someone could tell me about climbing Mitre Peak in winter. How long does it take? What’s the best route? Any info much appreciated! Thanks for your time.

Which Mitre Peak? The one on Ruapehu, in the Tararuas, isn’t there a Mitre Peak in the Kaikouras, or the one in Fiordland?

I can help with the INland Kaikouras one (very near Tapaeonuku and Alarm), although we didn’t quite make it to the top ..

Sorry! I meant to say Mitre Peak in the Tararuas! Thanks

Its a reasonably straightforward walk from Mitre Flats Hut. Makes a nice return day trip from the hut. Unless there is a lot of snow its just a matter of following the well worn track. If there is a lot of snow, travel with someone with some alpine experience and an iceaxe might be handy. Its not really a climb as such, more of a tramping route.
Check with DoC if the bridge near the hut is still there, I think it got hit by the storms some time ago.

I thought the owner of mitre peak (because apparently its owned privately) had put a restriction on who climbs it now because the last climbers got into trouble and needed to be airlifted out
