The Bealey Spur, Arthurs Pass. An awesome 6 km climb on a well trodden track to the Bealey hut then another half hour climb to the Spur. I sat at the top eating my lunch, enjoying the fabulous views. I carried on along the saddle to another peak before heading back down. The terrain is varied, beginning with the forest of Beech, opening up to tussock areas, a wetland which includes a tarn, and the top is a typically Alpine tussock and shingle. If you don't mind a bit of climbing in your walks then this is a goody.
