Malte-Brun, Alpine summit in Southern Alps, New Zealand.
Located between the Tasman and Murchison Glaciers, Malte Brun rises to 3,199 meters with its red sandstone faces dominating the mountain range.
Julius von Haast named the mountain after French geographer Victor Adolphe Malte-Brun, and Tom Fyfe completed the first ascent in March 1894.
Mountaineers from across the globe gather at this peak to undertake technical climbs on various routes, including the challenging West Ridge traverse.
The climbing season extends from December to April, requiring advanced mountaineering skills and equipment for the 10 to 14-hour ascent time.
The mountain features a narrow section called the Cheval, where climbers must straddle across a sharp ridge during the classic West Ridge route.
