Mt Aspiring via the Bevan Col and NW Ridge in January 2021. Climbers: Eoin Ó Mathúna Matt Roxburgh Patrick Clissold Filming & Editing - Patrick Clissold Music - Anytime - Walz
I can imagine, I was surprised by how much we had to descend from Bevan Col to get to it. Lots of surface melt on it too, kept on going up to your knees in deep pools.
We were up there 27/28th January 2021 and it had fresh snow a week before and only a couple of patches of surface melt. I'm surprised at how little snow compared to what we had half a month later. The Ramp was covered and you could descend Bevan Col basically all via snow slope to the east
Congrats on the summit and the cool video! Did you guys do the full NW ridge or was there enough snow to cut up to the base of the buttress? (Kangaroo patch?) Also when in Jan did you manage to summit?
Yes we did cut up via the snow, but we hit the notch before the kangaroo patch as the patch itself had some huge scrunds that looked difficult to get over. This was the 9th ans 10th of Jan.

I'm thinking back to the early 90s. The hut was small and leaked in a storm. But hell the glacier was in better condition.
