By Rob Frost

The Aoraki Tai Poutini guide is an essential guide for mountaineering in the Aoraki Mount Cook National Park and Westland Tai Poutini National Park including the valleys on the west side of the Main Divide (although there are still several major unclimbed features there). A section on climbs from Aoraki Mount Cook Village is included for those with only a couple of days available. The author's love for New Zealand's mountains, fascination with climbing history, meticulous eye for detail, and passion for engaging with climbers has resulted in an up-to-date, reliable, and comprehensive guide.

  • The essential guide for mountaineering in Aoraki Mount Cook National Park and Westland Tai Poutini National Park with both parks covered in their entirety
  • Specific attention is given to how the mountains and access routes have been affected by climate change
  • Coverage area now includes the lush, rugged, and previously overlooked valleys on the west side of the Main Divide, including the Callery, lower Balfour, Cook/Weheka, Copland, Douglas, and Karangarua catchments - because information on these valleys has been difficult to find for so long, they still host several major unclimbed features
  • New chapter on climbs from Aoraki Mount Cook Village, for those passing through with only a couple of days available for climbing
  • Almost 1100 routes described, including all major passes
  • Clear descent options described for popular peaks
  • The first guidebook to use the new mountaineering grading system for New Zealand
  • Generously illustrated with hundreds of beautiful photos and topos
  • NZ Mountain Film and Book Festival 2019 joint runner-up
  • Winner of the guidebook category in the 2019 Banff Mountain Book Competition Awards: "Rob's Guide is thorough, with a comprehensive history of the regions characters and pioneers. The routes are described clearly and well illustrated, but the adventure isn't spoiled by too much blow by blow beta. I look forward to pulling this book out of my rucksack when I finally get the chance to climb in this world class arena." (Paul McSorley, 2019 Book Competition Jury)
