New Zealand offers a variety of classic peaks and a lifetime of mountaineering adventures. The Southern Alps / Ka Tiritiri o te Moana has 24 peaks above 3000m. The range is renowned for high glaciation and relief. Height is an arbitrary measure of the technical or aesthetic appeal of a mountain, and all these summits provide excellent objectives. Some are easily accessible from high mountain huts and others require a longer time and effort commitment.
