Nelson Marlborough Mt Franklin Grade 2
At 2340m Mt Franklin is the highest peak in Nelson Lakes and requires a long approach. You need to be fit enough to make the 8.5 hr walk to the Blue Lake Hut, climb next day, and 8.5hr walk out the day after. Take some time off and have a crack at bagging this one. The climbing itself is not very technical. Winter conditions will add some spice, so you will need to be confident with ice axe and crampons, comfortable in avalanche terrain, and prepared for changeable weather.
