Mount Aspiring, Glaciated summit in Southern Alps, New Zealand
Mount Aspiring rises to an elevation of 3,033 meters, standing as the highest peak outside the Aoraki Mount Cook region in New Zealand.
The first successful ascent of Mount Aspiring occurred on November 23, 1909, led by Major Bernard Head with guides Jack Clarke and Alec Graham.
The mountain carries dual names, with Tititea, meaning clear or shining peak, representing its significance to the Waitaha tribe of the South Island.
Climbers can access the mountain through the West Matukituki Valley, following a 50-kilometer road from Wanaka to Raspberry Flat base point.
Three major glacial systems converge at Mount Aspiring: the Bonar Glacier, the Volta Glacier, and the Therma Glacier, creating a complex ice formation.
