Not the most exciting peak to climb but nevertheless it was nice to do a summit new to all in the group. After a pleasant walk in the S. Buller pass trail just below the pass we left the trail to gain the col between our objective and the unnamed peak to the east.

Then we followed the wide ridge to the first summit.

The second summit even being slightly lower had better views, so we had our lunch and photo session there.

After a suitable rest we took a direct line to regain the trail. With a couple of breaks we were back at the cars by 4pm.
