Tititea Mount Aspiring - South Face II

The only 3,000m peak outside of the Aoraki region, Tititea stands head and shoulders above most other peaks in the Otago Alps. With four distinct faces and a striking pyramid shape (when seen from a certain angle), it is sometimes dubbed the Matterhorn of the south - though with significantly better rock than its Swiss counterpart.

This is one of 5 posters of Tititea, showing all of its faces during a late summer sunrise. You can find the other ones there:

• South Face I (from a different angle, showing also the massive Southeast face of the Popes Nose, under the Bonar glacier)
• North Face (a wealth of wild rock routes)
• Northeast Face (very rarely climbed, a massive shield of almost impossible
• West Face (the route of the first ascent in 1909, but mostly showing the Northwest Ridge and all its variants, by far the most commonly used route to climb the mountain)
