This peak had a pretty remote feel to it. We enjoyed the summit to ourselves. Steep grind heading up to the col at N Buller Pass. Cornice was lingering on the other side of the pass as well as along the ridge of Red Peak, we got creative and found a way to avoid both by hiking/scrambling up the peak to the SE and then traversing over. Overall, an amazing day out and very scenic. Looking into the Ribbon Lake area from up high was a highlight, that area is so beautiful! Paradise.
