Mount Elie de Beaumont

The fifth one in Top 9 Highest Mountains in New Zealand that Toplist would like to introduce to you is Mount Elie de Beaumont. Mount Elie de Beaumont is a 3,109-metre (10,200-foot) high mountain in New Zealand's Southern Alps on the South Island, and the country's northernmost Three-thousander. It is surrounded by glaciers such as Johannes Glacier in the north, Burton Glacier in the east, Times Glacier in the west, and Anna Glacier, a tributary of the Tasman Glacier in the south.

Head up the glacier (which can be cut off by crevasses later in the season), usually staying close to Mt Walter. Then climb the slopes to the col between Mts Walter and Elie de Beaumont. Up to the summit, follow an easy snow ridge (but watch out for hard ice just above the col). This is the typical descent path. In good snow conditions, routes can be pushed directly up the Anna Glacier to the summit. If the Anna Glacier is badly crevassed and the col between Mts Walter and Elie de Beaumont is closed, traverse from Divers Col to Elie de Beaumont via Mt Walter.
