"North slope of Mt. Northover is still a "difficult scramble". Although short, I found it harder than the majority of Kane's difficult scrambles. Parches of snow and ice in the shade made it tricky. Some people told me that easiest way is to stick to climber's far left, but I chose to go straight up and down the obvious gully. There might be an easier route indeed. Didn't have time to explore since my friends were waiting on Northover Ridge Trail.
On odd note, the summit elevation is more than 100m off-mark: 2940m instead of 3048m." — Taras • Sep 25, 2022
"Stasys set the pace for the third mission this week and climbed the crux first. Easier than it looks and not intuitive from a distance. Northover ridge loop hike is world class. Third 35km walk this week...time to put feet up! 2 to go..." — alexjoseph • Sep 12, 2020
"A solid day. Started at the trailhead at about 7am got back at 10pm by headlamp. We went at a steady pace, spent 25 minutes on the summit. The weather was perfect. The ridge route take one up a triangular slab climb, which has severe exposure. After that there is a bit of climbing to get the summit. We used our climbing shoes for this section. Could we have done without climbing shoes? Maybe, but we used the climbing shoes and had no issues. From there, we found our way back down the other side and proceeded with the long walk back to the car." — BertB • Sep 7, 2019
"Joined Bert, Blake and Jason at the last minute since my boyfriend decided to go mountain biking and let me out. So, a few hours before bed I got ready after getting the go-ahead from Stephan and welcome aboard by Bert. Woke up at 4:15 am, met the guys at 5 am and drove to K-Country. We started at about 7am and got back at about 10 pm. It was great doing this as a single push because when I did Warrior and Cordonnier I had the big ass pack and I felt so fast and light going up the headwall this time. I only carried 1L of water all the way to the end of Aster Lake, then filtered 1.5 for the summit push, then filtered about the same for the way back from the nice little waterfall at the base of Northover. I had already decided to do the descent route because I don't like exposure too much and it worked out well. It was still sketchy on the descent route and I never like to do sketch solo, but I made good time and summited just over an hour ahead of the guys. I had a great view of them as they tackled the ridge! Super cool. We found the proper descent route on the way down, as I had gone further climber's right by a bit on the way up. We had a perfect, hot day and it was nic..." — leigh-annewebster • Sep 7, 2019
