Carruthers mountain

Carruthers Peak, also known as Curruthers Peak, is a mountain in the Great Dividing Range's Main Range in the Snowy Mountains region of southeast New South Wales, Australia. Within the Kosciuszko National Park, the mountain is located between Mount Lee and Mount Twynam. It is one of the most popular peaks behind Kosciuszko and is located on the main range track. The top is a short ridgeline with the western sides to the north and Club Lake to the south, one of mainland Australia's only glacial lakes. In most years, it is snow-covered from late May to early November.

Many people summit it in the summer while hiking the main range track. It is the only mountain on the established track that is climbed, with Kosciusko being a popular detour. The main range, the western faces, and the Sentinel and Watsons Crags, which are the most serious mountain terrain on mainland Australia, can all be seen from the summit. On the southern face of Club Lake, accessible from the main trail or up the valley from Charlottes Pass, there is some rock climbing and scrambling. On compact quartzite, the climbing is usually in the low tens.
