\"\"<\/figure>
\n

Due to the remote nature of the peak, climbing Mount Aspiring requires an expedition of 5 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most common Mount Aspiring itinerary involves flying from the Matukituki Valley to Bevan Col. From here it is 1.5 to 2 hours travel across the Bonar Glacier to Colin Todd Hut deep in the Mount Aspiring National Park Wilderness area. For the South West ridge, a bivi can be made closer to the start of the route or, early in the season and with good conditions, accessed directly from French Ridge Hut.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
